HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 5233 of 2025 Court No. - 7 HON'BLE JASPREET SINGH, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. By means of the instant petition, the petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of Regular Suit No.830 of 2016, pending before the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Kunda, Pratapgarh. 3. Having considered the aforesaid prayer and upon perusal of the material on record, it appears surprising that a suit instituted in the year 2016, in which the defendants have already entered appearance, is still pending, neither have the written statements been filed, nor have issues been framed. The extracts of the order sheet further reveals that orders are being passed and dates are being fixed in mechanical manner. 4. The Courts are empowered under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 to deal with such situations; yet, the trial court does not appear to have exercise the jurisdiction vested in it by law, resulting in repeated adjournments in a suit pending since 2016. 5. Considering the aforesaid, this Court directs the court concerned to take appropriate measures and ensure that the proceedings are taken to their logical conclusion, after affording full opportunity of hearing to the parties, but without granting any unnecessary adjournment. 6. With the aforesaid observations, the petition is disposed of.
