By filing the present CMP application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the Plaintiff in C.S. No.22 of 2020 has approached this Court for a direction to the learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, Pipili to conclude the final decree proceeding as expeditiously as possible. 4. Learned counsel for the Petitioner, at the outset, contended that although the suit has already been decreed preliminary and the final decree proceeding has been pending for the last two years, no steps have been taken to ensure that the said proceeding is concluded in a time bound manner.
