For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per their ranking before the trial Court in Original Suit. 3. The petitioner/plaintiff has filed a suit in O.S.No.5875/2020 for declaration declaring that resignation letter dated 07.12.2017 secured by the defendants by coercion is null and void and also seeking - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:20378 WP No. 7376 of 2026 for reinstatement of petitioner into the service. During the pendency of that suit the plaintiff also filed an application I.A.No.4 under Section 151 of Code of Civil Procedure (for short, ‘CPC’) seeking direction to the respondents for payment of consolidated subsistence allowance. Since no order has been passed on that application, the petitioner is before this Court. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents /caveator has submitted that in earlier stage the plaintiff has not pressed that application, therefore, it was not considered. Now, he has filed a memo on 03.03.2026 for consideration of this application filed under Section 151 of CPC. For consideration of the application, matter has been posted on 03.06.2026 for hearing. 5. In view of the above, the trial court is directed to dispose of the application as expeditiously as possible but not later than by the end of June 2026, in accordance with law. - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:20378 WP No. 7376 of 2026 Accordingly, the following order is passed: ORDER a) The writ petition is disposed of. b) The Trial Court is directed to dispose of the application in accordance with law and as expeditiously as possible, not later than by the end of June, 2026. c) Parties are directed to co-operate for early disposal of the application.
