SL. No Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGES’S ORDERS WPMS No.2753 of 2025 Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. Mr. Bhuwan Bhatt, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The prayer made in this writ petition is to direct the learned Assistant Collector-1st Class Vikasnagar, Dehradun to decide the pending suit bearing Case No.45 of 2018-19, Pooran Singh & another vs. Daulat Singh & others, as early as possible, within stipulated time bound. 3. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner/defendant that petitioner/defendant has filed the written statement in the suit on 19.12.2024. 4. 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. 5. In view of the aforesaid legal authority, the Court finds that the present case does not fall within the category of ‘exceptional circumstances’. 6. Accordingly, the present writ petition is dismissed in- limine. 7. Pending application if any, stands disposed of. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 25.09.2025 AK 2
