THE CIRCLE INSPECTOR OF POLICE SIRA TOWN POLICE STATION NEAR NARAYANASWAMY KALANA MANTAPA, SIRA TOWN, TUMAKURU DISTRICT - 572 137 …RESPONDENTS THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO DIRECTING THE TRIAL COURT TO DECIDE/DISPOSE OF THEO.S.NO. 16/2022 PENDING ON THE FILE OF ADDL.CIVIL JUDGE AND JMFC AT SIRA, WITHIN A TIME FRAME OF 3 MONTHS FROM TODAY AS PER THE ORDER DATED 12.03.2024 PASSED IN W.P.NO.9521/2023(GM-CPC), WHICH IS PRODUCED AND MARKED AS ANNEXURE-V, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY AND ETC., - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:49446 WP No. 33314 of 2025 THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP SINGH YERUR ORAL ORDER Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The prayer sought in this petition by the petitioners, who are defendants before the trial Court is as under: "i) To, issue a writ of mandamus, in the nature of order or direction, directing the trial Court to decide/dispose of the O.S.No.16/2022 pending on the file of Additional Civil Judge and JMFC at Sira, within a time frame of 3 months from today as per the order dated 12.03.2024 passed in W.P.No.9521/2023(GM-CPC), which is produced and marked as Annexure-V, in the interest of justice and equity. ii) To, grant, any such other relief/s as this Hon'ble Court deems fit to grant under the circumstances of the cae, in the interest of justice and equity." 3. This Court does not find the need or necessity to issue notice to the respondents/plaintiffs for the reason that the relief sought for in this petition by the defendants is to direct the trial Court to dispose of the main suit in O.S.No.16/2022 within a period of three months. The suit is filed by the plaintiffs for the relief of permanent injunction and other - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:49446 WP No. 33314 of 2025 consequential reliefs. It is submitted that the parties to the proceedings have completed their pleadings before the trial Court and the issues are yet to be framed. 4. Aggrieved by the order of temporary injunction granted in favour of the plaintiff, the petitioners/defendants filed a miscellaneous appeal in M.A.No.3/2023 which was rejected. Aggrieved by the same, the defendants preferred this writ petition in W.P.No.9521/2023 (GM-CPC). This Court in the Co-Ordinate Petition, on the challenge made to an order passed under Order-XXXIX, Rule 1 and 2 of CPC, held in favour of plaintiffs and did not interfere with the said order. However, it directed the trial Court to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible vide its order dated 12.03.2024. It has been more than one and half years since the order came to be passed with a direction to the trial Court to dispose of the matter expeditiously. Till date, the proceedings before the trial court have not moved forward rather, they have stayed where they were, and the petitioners/defendants are before this Court, aggrieved by the trial Court not proceeding with the matter and also for the reasons that the defendants have partly - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:49446 WP No. 33314 of 2025 constructed some portion of the building on the property in the suit schedule property and the defendants claim to be the owner. Therefore, the petitioners/defendants are not happy with the trial Court going at a snail's pace, despite an order passed by this Court in a Co-ordinate petition to dispose of the matter expeditiously. It is the petitioners/defendants who are before this Court seeking for a direction for disposal of the suit in a time-bound manner, more specifically within a period of three months. 5. On careful perusal of the order sheet of the trial court, which is placed on record and the judgment of the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, where this Court has directed the trial Court to dispose of the matter expeditiously, apparently, there is substance in the submission made by the learned counsel for the defendants that the trial Court has not proceeded further in an expeditious manner; rather, it is prolonging the proceedings at the whims and fancies of the plaintiffs. Under these circumstances, it becomes necessary for this Court to show indulgence to the defendants by further directing the trial Court to dispose of the matter expeditiously, - 9 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:49446 WP No. 33314 of 2025 in continuation of the earlier order passed by this Court in the Co-ordinate petition mentioned hereinabove dated 12.03.2024 in W.P.No.9521/2023. For the aforesaid reason, I pass the following: ORDER i. This petition is allowed. ii. The learned Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, SIRA is directed to dispose of the original suit in O.S.No.16/2022 within an outer limit of 1 year from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. iii. All the parties shall be given sufficient opportunity to contest and defend their case. iv. The trial Court shall impose exemplary costs on the parties seeking unnecessary adjournments. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (PRADEEP SINGH YERUR) JUDGE rv List No.: 1 Sl No.: 4
