This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode). 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners. 3. Perused the CMP application as well as the prayer made therein. 4. Learned counsel for the Petitioners/Plaintiffs has contended that in the year 2006 the Petitioners had filed Civil Suit bearing C.S. No.59 of 2006 in the court of learned Civil Judge (Sr. Division), Pipili. He further contended that although two decades have passed in the meantime, however, the suit is still pending and the same is not progressing. Being aggrieved by the slow progress in the suit, the Plaintiffs/Petitioners have approached this Court for a direction to the learned trial court to expedite the hearing of the suit and to conclude the same in a time bound manner. On a careful consideration of the Page 2 of 2. prayer made by learned counsel for the Petitioners, further examination of the documents annexed to the present application, this Court found that the suit is of the year 2006 and the same is still pending. Although in the meantime, almost two decades have lapsed.

The parties are directed to co-operate with the learned trial court and they shall not create any unnecessary argument. 5. Accordingly, the CMP stands disposed of. ( A.K. Mohapatra) Judge Sumitra
