C528 No.387 of 2025 Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J.
Ms. Asmi, learned counsel for the applicant.
2. The prayer made in this C528 application is to direct the Court below to expedite the proceedings of Case No.536 of 2024 (Vishal Gupta v. Vaishali Gaurav) pending before the Court of First Additional Principal Judge, Roorkee, District Haridwar, under Section 13(1)(i-a)(i-b) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and to decide the same within a fixed period of time.
3. 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.
4. In view of the aforesaid legal authority, the Court finds that the present case does not fall within the category of ‘exceptional circumstances’ as the case is only of the year 2024.
5. Accordingly, C528 application is dismissed.
6. Pending application if any, stands disposed of.
