IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1572 of 2007 SADANAND RAI & ORS Versus RANJI SINGH & ORS ----------- 2 30.07.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioners. The facts which have been stated in this application, if they are taken to be true will indicate as to why and how today an ordinary litigant is averse and reluctant to contest a civil litigation.. A suit of the year, 1988 filed for specific performance of contract has not been disposed of in the last 20 years and surprisingly the plaintiff has been praying for unnecessary adjournments which have been also allowed mechanically by the Court below. This Court will not like to say anything more at this stage. The Court below is, however, directed to ensure that the suit is disposed of within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, irrespective of the fact whether one party or another does not want to complete his argument. The judgment must be delivered in the aforesaid period and a report must be submitted to this Court immediately thereafter that the suit has been disposed of . With the aforementioned observation and direction this application is disposed of . BCJ (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
