Court No. - 7
Case :- MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 5729 of 2021 Petitioner :- Ram Vriksh And Another Respondent :- Nirmal And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ghan Shyam Yadav Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Pankaj Kumar Gupta
Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Pankaj Kumar Gupta, learned counsel for the contesting respondent.
By means of this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution, the petitioners have prayed for following relief:-
"(i). direct the learned court of Civil Judge (Junior Division) District Sant Kabir Nagar to decide the Original Case No. 646 of 2018 (Nirmal and others v. Ramvriksh and others) within stipulated period as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."
It is argued that the delay is being unnecessarily caused and therefore, suit may be expedited.
Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I find that the suit is of the year 2018 and it is a widely known fact that the State of Uttar Pradesh was badly hit initially by the lockdown during the first waive of pandemic Covid-19 and so also subsequently during the 2nd waive 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.
