Court No. - 7
Case :- MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 4782 of 2021 Petitioner :- Abhay Narayan Pandey Respondent :- Smt. Narma Devi Counsel for Petitioner :- Shyam Shankar Mishra,Vijay Kumar Mishra
Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J.
The petitioner is the plaintiff in the suit and has come up before this Court claiming following relief as substantial relief:
"To issue a suitable order or direction, directing the Civil Judge (J.D.), Court No. 8, Allahabad to decide the Original Suit No. 623 of 2018 (Abhay Narayan Pandey v. Smt. Narma Devi) pending since 16.03.2018 within stipulated period which may be fixed by this Hon'ble Court."
It is argued that the delay is being unnecessarily caused and therefore, suit may be expedited.
Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, I find that the suit is of the year 2018 and it is a widely known fact that the State Uttar Pradesh was badly hit initially by the lockdown during the first wave of pandemic Covid-19 and so also subsequently during the 2nd wave of Covid-19 adversely affecting the judicial functions of the courts in the State.
In such above view of the matter, therefore, this Court does not find it feasible to expedite the suit of the year 2018. However, it is expected that the court concerned shall expeditiously dispose of the suit in accordance with law.
The petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions.
