JUSTICE PRADEEP SINGH YERUR ORAL ORDER Heard learned counsel for petitioner-plaintiff. 2. This petition is filed by the petitioner-plaintiff seeking for the following relief: "i. Issue a writ in the nature of Mandamus or any other Writ and Direct the learned the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC at Shidlagatta to expeditiously disposal of the suit in OS.No.213/2023 not later than 6 months, in the ends of justice. (Produced at Annexure-A) ii. Issue any other Writ or Order and grant such other and further relief as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit in the facts and circumstances of the case, in the interest of justice and equity." 3. This Court does not find any need to issue notice to the respondent, as no relief is sought against him and so also no adverse order is passed against him. The only relief that is sought in the present writ petition is to direct - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46423 WP No. 27533 of 2025 the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Shidlghatta to dispose of the suit in OS.No.213/2023 expeditiously. 4. It is the contention of the learned counsel for petitioner-plaintiff that suit is of the year 2023. The respondent-defendant has been protracting and prolonging the proceedings for one or other reason. Hence, the present petition is filed by the plaintiff-petitioner for expeditious disposal of the suit. 5. I have perused the writ petition and there is a valid ground to consider the case of the petitioner-plaintiff for expeditious disposal. 6. Accordingly, I pass the following: ORDER i) This petition is allowed; ii) The Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Shidlaghatta, is hereby directed to dispose of the suit in OS.No.213/2023 expeditiously; - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46423 WP No. 27533 of 2025 iii) The trial Court is at liberty to impose cost on either parties for unnecessary adjournments; iv) Both parties shall cooperate in the expeditious disposal of the suit; v) It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on merits of the matter.
