THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. V. ARAVIND ORAL ORDER Heard Sri N. Surendra Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. This writ petition seeks a writ of mandamus for expeditious disposal of Regular Appeal No.7/2008 pending on the file of the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Nagamangala. 3. The suit for partition was filed in the year 1996. Against the rejection of the suit, the above appeal was preferred in the year 2008. A perusal of the order sheet suggests that there are no valid reasons for the appeal not having been disposed of since 2008, though the last daily order placed before the Court is dated 21.03.2024. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, as on date, the stage of the appeal remains unchanged. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:13831 WP No. 28880 of 2024 4. If the regular appeal is directed to be disposed of expeditiously, the same would not prejudice the rights of the respondents herein. Hence, notice to the respondents is dispensed with. 5. The Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Nagamangala, is directed to dispose of Regular Appeal No.7/2008 as expeditiously as possible, and in any event within an outer limit of six months. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (K. V. ARAVIND) JUDGE VBS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 2
