The present petition has been filed by the petitioner for a limited prayer that the learned trial Court may be directed to expedite the trial and dispose of Civil Suit No.61A/2024 within a stipulated time frame. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is plaintiff before the learned trial Court. He has filed the civil suit for possession and permanent injunction against the defendant before the learned trial Court. The suit has been filed on 16-02-2024 and till date even the plaintiff’s witnesses have not been examined, though the plaintiff has produced the witnesses for their cross-examination, but the defendant has not cross- Digitally signed by MOHAMMED AADIL KHAN Date: 2026.06.25 19:15:39 +0530 2 examined the plaintiff’s witnesses. Since 29-10-2025 the case has been fixed on various occasions for recording of evidence of the plaintiff’s witnesses, but there is no substantial progress in the trial of the case and therefore, the learned trial Court may be directed to conclude the trial of the case expeditiously. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the documents annexed with the petition. 4. From the order sheets it transpires that the suit for possession and permanent injunction has been filed by the plaintiff on 16-02-2024 and the defendant made her appearance on 13-02-2025 and thereafter written statement has been filed on 21-07-2025. The issues have been framed on 08-09-2025 and the case was fixed for recording of plaintiff’s evidence on 27- 11-2025 and 09-04-2026. 5. Considering the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner and the order sheets of the learned trial Court, the present writ petition is disposed of directing the learned trial Court to decide the civil suit filed by the petitioner, preferably within a period of one year from the next date fixed before it in accordance with law on its own merits. Needless to say that the parties shall cooperate with the trial of the case and shall not take unnecessary adjournment. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed of.
