The petitioner, Mohd Hafij, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (J.D.) Chandauli to decide a pending review application (No. M-52 of 2024) in case 468/1995. The petitioner’s counsel requested an expeditious decision. The Court observed that since the underlying case is still pending, the writ petition serves no further purpose and should be disposed.
