Case :- MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 1797 of 2017 Petitioner :- Pradeep Kumar @ Kallu Respondent :- Civil Judge ( S.D.) And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Achchhey Lal Tiwari
Hon'ble Manoj Misra,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.
The petitioner has filed this petition for a direction upon respondent no.1/Civil Judge (Sr. Div.), I, Varanasi to decide P.A. Suit No. 24 of 2012 (Pradeep Kumar Vs. Ramesh Kumar) pending before him within a stipulated period of time.
In the case of Km. Shobha Bose Vs. Judge Small Causes Court 2010 (1) ADJ 531 (DB) this Court has observed that the delay in disposal of cases is unfortunate but it is a systemic delay. Therefore, ordinarily the parties should be relegated to approach the court in seisin of the lis to take appropriate decision in the matter depending upon its roster and the pendency of the other old and important cases before it.
Accordingly, the petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the court concerned with an appropriate application for the expeditious disposal of the above suit. In the event the court is so approached and if considered necessary, do its best to ensure that it is decided expeditiously by curtailing all unnecessary adjournments and fixing short dates. In case any adjournment becomes imperative, not to allow it without imposing cost of atleast Rs. 500/- per adjournment upon either of the parties seeking adjournment.
