Hon'ble Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.
The supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant.
In view of the order, which is proposed to be passed today, notices need not go to the private respondents.
The applicant has approached this Court for issuing direction to learned Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division), Court No.8, Mathura to decide the recall/restoration application no.02/17 filed in Original Suit No.668 of 2013 (Itwari Lal vs. Girraj and others) within stipulated time.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in M/s Shiv Cotex Versus Tirgun Auto Plast P. Ltd and others, 2011 (89) ALR 232, has made the following observations:-
" It is high time that courts become sensitive to delays in justice delivery system and realize that adjournments do dent the efficacy of judicial process and if this menace is not controlled adequately, the litigant public may lose faith in the system sooner than later. The Courts, particularly Trial Courts, must ensure that on every date of hearing, effective progress takes place in the suit."
Considering the above, this petition stands disposed of with the direction upon the Court concerned to consider and decide the recall/restoration application no.02/17 filed in Original Suit No.668 of 2013 (Itwari Lal vs. Girraj and others), in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within three months from the date of production of certified copy of this order, without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties, except upon payment of cost.
