It is contended that initially Suit No. 1132 of 1995 was filed before the court concerned. However, as the issue of valuation came for consideration the matter was transferred to the Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Gorakhpur and it was numbered as Original Suit No. 631 of 2000.

The Division Bench of this Court in case of Ali Shad Usmani vs. Ali Isteba, 2015 (2) ADJ 250 (DB) had held that no such direction can be issued as it creates a class amongst the litigants but looking to the facts of the case that more than 30 years have elapsed and court below till date has not proceeded to decide the said suit despite the fact that the suit is at cross examination stage, in view of said fact, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the matter pending or calling for counter affidavit or issuing notice to private respondents. The trial court is required to expedite the proceedings of Original Suit No. 4730 of 2017 and decide the same, expeditiously, preferably, within a period of one year from the date of production of certified copy of this order, strictly in accordance with law on day to day basis without granting any adjournment to either of the parties. 4. With the aforesaid directions, the petition stands disposed of. 5. It is made clear that this Court has not adjudicated the matter on merits.
