WPMS/2460/2025 Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J.
Ms. Irum Zeba, learned counsel for the petitioner.
2. The prayer made in this writ petition is to direct the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Roorkee, Haridwar to decide the Original Suit No.228 of 2018, Tarachand vs. Harilal & another, within a period of six months.
3. Of-late, the Apex Court in the case of ‘Sangram Sadashiv Suryavanshi v. State of Maharashtra’ (Criminal Appeal No.4758 of 2024 decided on 25.11.2024 [2024 INSC 899]) has held that Constitutional courts may issue directions for the time-bound disposal of cases only in exceptional circumstances. The issue of prioritizing the disposal of cases should be best left to the decision of the courts concerned where the cases are pending.
4. In view of the aforesaid legal authority, the Court finds that the present case does not fall within the category of ‘exceptional circumstances’.
5. Accordingly, the present writ petition is dismissed in-limine.
6. Pending application if any, stands disposed of.
(Pankaj Purohit, J.)
