Court No. - 7
Case :- MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 4455 of 2021 Petitioner :- Sikandar Respondent :- Babulal And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Syed Shahnawaz Shah
Hon'ble Ajit Kumar,J.
The petitioner has come up before this Court claiming following relief as substantial relief:
"(i). Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the Civil Judge (Junior Division) Baghpat to decide the Civil Suit No. 82 of 2018 (Sikandar v. Babulal and Others) within a stipulated period.."
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 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.
