IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO DIRECT THE HONBLE II ADDITIONAL SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE IN O.S.NO. 1037/2009 TO EXPEDITIOUSLY DISPOSE THE CASE, WITHIN 4 MONTHS AT ANNX-B. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER The petitioner is before this court seeking the following prayer: (a) Pass a writ of mandamus directing the Hon'ble II Additional Senior Civil Judge in O.S.NO.1037/2009 to expeditiously dispose the case within 4 months at Annexure-B; (b) Issue such writ or order or direction or other relief(s) that this Hon'ble Court deems fit under the fact and circumstances of the case to secure the ends of justice. 2. The petitioner is defendant 1(b). The parties to the lis instituted O.S.No.2333 of 2007 seeking partition of joint family properties. The said suit is said to have been transferred later to a different Court of Jurisdiction and re-numbered as - 9 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:29847 WP No. 21372 of 2025 O.S.No.1037 of 2009. The suit therefore was instituted in the year 2007 and is pending before the concerned court. Certain development had taken place during the pendency of this suit with regard to certain defendants and the plaintiff closing their rights in terms of a compromise. The petitioner - defendant No.1(b) is before the court seeking expeditious disposal of the suit. 3. In the light of the suit being of the year 2007 and re-numbered to the year 2009 admittedly and languishing in the court for the last 16 or 18 years as the case would be, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the petition infusing finality into the proceedings with a direction to the concerned court to conclude the proceedings within the outer limit of 6 months, if not earlier. Ordered accordingly. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE SS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 43 CT: BHK
