IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1421 of 2006 RAJENDRA MISHRA & ANR Versus SURESH SINGH & ORS ----------- 2. 18.11.2008 Surendra/ Heard counsel for the petitioners. Now that effect of the impugned order dated 31.5.2006 allowing stay of execution proceedings till the disposal of the appeal cannot be cured, as the civil revision application has been taken up for hearing in admission matter for the first time after more than two years of the order, the only thing, without disturbing the view of the court below in the impugned order, which could be done to ensure justice between both the parties is that the lower appellate court be directed to dispose of the appeal, Title Appeal No. 29/2002 itself within a fixed time frame. That is even otherwise necessary because the suit of the year 1975 decreed after 27 years cannot be kept pending at the stage of execution of the ground of pendency of the appeal for an indefinite period. The interest of justice, therefore, would be served if the aforesaid appeal, being six years old, is itself disposed of as early as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. The lower appellate court is accordingly directed to ensure that Title Appeal no. 29/2002 is positively disposed of in the aforementioned period of six months. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) - 2 -
