Civil Revision No.7030 of 2009(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.7030 of 2009(O&M) Date of Decision: 30.11.2009 Gee Kay Foundations etc. ....Petitioners Versus M/s Avantee Medical and others .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MRS.JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. D.Khanna, Advocate for Mr. Jagvinder Singh Santwal, Advocate for the petitioners. * * * Sabina,J.(Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that in fact 25 similar cases filed by the petitioners are pending before the trial Court and the trial court was proceeding to decide the applications under Order 8, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure and Order 15, Rule 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure in terms of the orders passed by this court on 15.10.2009 whereas, in the other 24 cases, the applications were not being decided and the said cases have been simply adjourned. In Civil Revision No.5962 of 2009, following order was passed: “Learned counsel states that in a pending suit one application under Order 8, Rule 1 CPC was filed on 7.10.2008 and another application under Order 15, Rule 5 CPC was filed on Civil Revision No.7030 of 2009(O&M) 2 6.12.2008. Thereafter, the matter was referred to the district Mediation Center but since that could not succeed it was referred back to the court on 16.4.2009. The prayer made is that the applications of the petitioners should be decided expeditiously. In my opinion the request made cannot be termed to be unreasonable. In the circumstances, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned trial court to decide these applications either on the date fixed viz. 4.11.2009 or, if the same cannot be decided to ensure that the same are decided on the next date which may be fixed in this case.” Since all the 25 cases are stated to be similar in nature, it would have been appropriate for the trial court to have disposed of the applications under order 8, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure and under Order 15, Rule 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure filed in all the civil suits. In the circumstances, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the trial court to decide the above-said applications in all the suits filed by the petitioners as well as by the defendants on the same date. Copy be given dasti to the counsel for the petitioners on usual charge. 30th Nov.2009 (SABINA) Seema-II Judge
