Page 1 of 1. IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK CMP No.973 of 2026 Deepak Kumar Basa and others ..... Petitioners Represented by Adv.- Mr. Nirmal Kishore Rath -versus- Nilamadhab Jena and others ..... Opposite Parties CORAM: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ADITYA KUMAR MOHAPATRA ORDER 24.06.2026 Order No. 01. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioners. Perused the CMP application as well as the prayer made therein. 3. By filing the present CMP application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the Plaintiffs in C.S. No.1021 of 2024 pending in the court of the learned 2nd Additional Civil Judge, Senior Division, Bhubaneswar have approached this Court for a direction to the learned trial court to expedite the trial in the civil suit and dispose of the same in a time bound manner. 4. On perusal of the record, it appears that the suit is of the year 2024. Although the suit has been filed with a prayer for declaration and permanent injunction, however the same is likely to take considerable time. Further, this Court is also aware of the fact that several year old cases are pending in the civil courts in Page 2 of 2. the State of Odisha. Therefore, it would not be fair to give any specific direction for disposal of the suit of the year 2024. 5. However, taking into consideration the submission made by the learned counsel for the Petitioners, liberty is granted to the Petitioners to move an application before the trial court for early disposal of the aforesaid suit. In such eventuality, the trial court, subject to pendency of the year old cases and its convenience, shall pass necessary orders thereon and, if possible, make every endeavour to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the CMP stands disposed of. ( A.K. Mohapatra ) Judge Debasis
