THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:33582 WP No. 24055 of 2025 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER The petitioner is before this Court, seeking the following prayer: "I. Issue a writ of mandamus directing the court of Senior Civil Judge & JMFC at Doddaballapurato dispose of the original suit in O.S No. 136/2012 on merits forthwith in the interest of justice & equity. II. Issue such other writ or order or direction that this Hon'ble Court may deem fit under the facts and circumstances of the case, including the cost of the writ petition, to secure the ends of justice. III. Grant such other relief as is just and necessary." 2. Heard Smt. Leela P. Devadiga, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and have perused the material on record. 3. A suit in O.S.No.136/2012 is instituted seeking partition and separate possession. In the said suit, it transpires that the petitioner - plaintiff No.1 has the benefit of an interim order of not alienating the property, even then, the allegation is that property is being alienated or attempted to be alienated by - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:33582 WP No. 24055 of 2025 the defendants and therefore, seeks expeditious disposal of the suit. While the reason may be inadequate for a direction to dispose a suit for partition, but the suit pending for the last 13 years is could be the reason for directing expeditious disposal. 4. Therefore, the concerned Court shall conclude the proceedings in O.S.No.136/2012, within an outer limit of nine (9) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if not earlier. With the aforesaid observations, the petition stands disposed. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE SJK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 40 CT:PS
