Ram Lakhan @ Ram Lakhan Tiwari .....Petitioner(s) Deputy Director Of Consolidation, Gonda And 6 Others .....Respondent(s)
5. It is noticed that the instant matter relates to 2019 and the trial courts are heavily burdened with the dockets due to which large number of cases are pending before them. In the present case, no extraordinary circumstance has been indicated by the petitioner so as to interfere and pass orders for expeditious disposal of the review application which has been filed only in 2019. Accordingly, no case for interference is made out at this stage. 6. However, looking to the aforesaid circumstances, liberty is granted to the petitioner to move appropriate application before the trial court within next two weeks for expediting the proceedings.
In case, such an application is made, the trail court shall consider and decide the same within two weeks thereafter by a reasoned and speaking order. In case, the trial court finds that a case for urgency has been made out, it shall proceed to consider and decide the review application of the petitioner expeditiously. 7. With aforesaid direction the petition stands disposed of. September 23, 2025 Muk A227 No. 5743 of 2025 2 (Alok Mathur,J.)
