The petitioner is a plaintiff, institutes a suit in O.S.No.122/2002 seeking partition and separate possession. The said suit comes to be decreed on 27.06.2003 and consequently, a final decree proceedings - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:27172 WP No. 14514 of 2025 are instituted in F.D.P.No.19/2006, which languishes even today before the concerned Court. 4. It is the submission of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the Court has been granting adjournments time and again without any rhyme or reason. 5. In the light of the final decree proceedings itself being 21 years old as the FDP is of the year 2006, I deem it appropriate to infuse finality into the final decree proceedings by directing the concerned Court to dispose the petition with an outer limit of three (3) months, if not earlier. 6.
