CIVIL COURT PATNA THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR ----------- For the Petitioners : Mr. Shashi Shekhar Dvivedi, Sr.Adv. and Mr. Ravi Shankar Dvivedi 2 6.11.2009 The present writ application under Article 227 of the Constitution has been filed by the petitioners, who are plaintiffs in Title Suit Eviction No. 91 of 1998 , which is pending in the Court of learned Sub Judge XII, Patna. - 3 - The only grievance of the petitioner is that the Suit for eviction is pending for almost a decade with hardly any progress. This Court in C.R No. 1588 of 2001 as far back as on 28.6.2002 had directed that the Suit should be expeditiously disposed of. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that expeditious disposal does not mean decades. In my view, the only relief that can be given to the petitioners at this stage is only to remind Sub Judge XII, Patna of earlier direction issued by this Court which itself is more than seven years back. It is directed that the learned Sub Judge XII, Patna would take up the matter in right earnest and give priority to this Suit, so as to ensure that the Suit is disposed of within one year from today. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this application stands disposed of. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J)
