Opposite Party Represented by Adv. - CORAM: MR. JUSTICE ADITYA KUMAR MOHAPATRA ORDER 12.01.2026 Order No. 01. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode). 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner. Perused the application. 3. By filing the present application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the plaintiff-Petitioner seeks for a direction to the learned trial Court to expedite the trial in C.S. No.1129 of 2020 pending the court of First Additional Civil Judge, Senior Division, Bhubaneswar. 4. Learned counsel for the Petitioner at the outset contended that although the suit is of the year 2020, however the same is progressing very slowly, as a result of which the Petitioner is seriously prejudiced by the delay in conclusion of the trial. 5. Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the Petitioner, this Court is of the view that many such matters are Page 2 of 2. pending in different courts for trial, particularly civil suites. Therefore, no such blanket order to be passed directing the trial court to expedite the trial keeping in view the fact that the trial courts requires some amount of flexibility in their functioning. However, taking into consideration the fact that the case is of the year 2020, this court directs the learned trial court to expedite the hearing of the suit and make every endeavor to conclude the same as expeditiously as possible. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the CMP application is disposed of. 7. It is further directed that in the event, any application filed by the Petitioner under Order 6 Rule 17 of CPC is pending before the learned trial Court, then the same shall be heard and disposed of within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication of a copy of today’s order.
