No.17 of 2015, which arises out of Civil Suit No.46 of 2012, an application has been filed at the instance of the present Petitioners under Order-1 Rule-10 of C.P.C. to implead them as party in the appeal on 13.08.2025 at Annexure-3. He further contended that though such application was heard on 05.09.2025 and the matter was posted later for order vide order dated 05.09.2025 in RFA No.17 of 2015, the learned District Judge, Jharsuguda has not passed any final order on such petition dated 13.08.2025 under Order-1 Rule-10 of the C.P.C. filed by the Petitioners to intervene in first appeal. Being aggrieved by such inaction of the learned District Judge, Jharsuguda, the First Appellate Authority, the Petitioners have approached this Court for a direction to the learned Appellate Court to dispose of the petition dated 13.08.2025 by passing necessary orders therein. 5. On a careful consideration of the submission made by the learned counsel for the Petitioners and on further observation of order dated 05.09.2025, this Court found that the application of the Petitioners dated 13.08.2025 was heard on 05.09.2025 by the learned District Judge, Jharsuguda and the same was kept for orders, further taking note of the allegation made by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that no final order has been passed on the petition dated 13.08.2025, this Court is inclined to dispose of the present CMP application by directing the learned District Judge, Jharsuguda to dispose of the petition dated 13.08.2025 by passing a reasoned order, if the same has not been disposed of in the meantime, within a period of four weeks from the date of Page 3 of 3. communication of a certified copy of this order. 6. Further, taking into consideration the fact that the appeal is of the year 2015, learned District Judge, Jharsuguda shall do well to hear the aforesaid RFA and make every endeavour to dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible. Parties are directed not to seek any unnecessary adjournments and to appear before the learned Appellate Court for early disposal of the RFA. 7. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the CMP application stands disposed of. ( A.K. Mohapatra) Judge Debasis
