IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 784 of 2009 (M/S) Shri Satya Prakash Goyal S/O Late Nathu Mal, R/O 7, Court Road, Dehradun. …… Petitioner. Versus Km. Lalita Kapoor D/O Shri C.L.Kapoor, R/O 184-A, Rajpur Road, Derhadun and six others. … Respondents. Sri A.Rab, learned counsel for the petitioner. Date June 03, 2009. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The only prayer made in this writ petition is that the Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) 1st Dehradun be directed to expedite the disposal of Original Suit No. 456 of 1992, Km. Lalita and others Vs. Shri S.P.Goel and Original Suit No. 331 of 1995, Smt. Shanti Devi and another Vs. Smt. Satyanand Chahal and others, which have been consolidated together for disposal, within a time bound period. A perusal of record shows that one Smt. Shanti Devi and the petitioner jointly filed an Original Suit against Smt. Satyanad Chahal and others in trial court, which was registered as Original Suit NO. 331 of 1995, Smt. Shanti Devi and another Vs Smt. Satyanand Chahal and others for a decree of declaration. Earlier to that, Km. Lalita Kapoor and two others filed a suit in the Court of Munsif Dehradun bearing Original Suit No. 456 of 1992, Km. Lalita and two others Vs. Shri S.P.Goyal and Smt. Shanti Devi for a decree of permanent injunction wherein the petitioner has been arrayed as defendant no.1. The grievance of the petitioner is that the plaintiffs of Suit No. 456 of 1992 are not interested in speedy decision of the suit and the said suit is pending for decision for the last about 17 years. Learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out that the petitioner is an old person of about 70 years. In the above facts and circumstances and in the interest of justice taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is a very old person of about 70 years, the trial court (1st Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) Dehradun) is directed to decide the Original Suit Nos. 456 of 1992 and 331 of 1995, which have been consolidated together, on merits in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of nine months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. Both the parties shall co-operate with the trial court in the speedy disposal of the suit. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma, J.) RCP
