In the aforesaid order, the application filed by the petitioner under Order 26 Rule 9 CPC seeking appointment of an advocate commissioner to ascertain whether there is an encroachment in the suit schedule property or not by the respondent has been dismissed.

This Court does not find any infirmity in the reasons given by the trial court for dismissing the petitioner’s application. Since the suit is of the year 2018, the only limited relief that can be granted to the petitioner is to direct the trial court to dispose of the aforesaid suit, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court. 4.
