WP. 4840, 4892, 4944-11 - 1 - VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL WRIT PETITION No. 4840 OF 2011 Pravina Vijaykumar Shah ...Petitioner Vs. Shanti Haldar ...Respondent CIVIL WRIT PETITION No. 4892 OF 2011 Pravina Vijaykumar Shah ...Petitioner Vs. Gita Kali Pada Maiti ...Respondent CIVIL WRIT PETITION No. 4944 OF 2011 Pravina Vijaykumar Shah ...Petitioner Vs. Rina Das ...Respondent *** Mr. Khan Javed Akhtar, for the Petitioner. *** CORAM: V. M. KANADE J. DATE : JULY 4, 2011 P.C. . All these writ petitions can be disposed of by a common order, since the petitioner landlord is the same, though the respondents/ tenants are different. The only relief claimed by the petitioner is a WP. 4840, 4892, 4944-11 - 2 - direction to the trial court to decide the suits expeditiously within a time bound period. It is submitted that one suit is filed in the year 2003 and two suits are filed in the year 2004; affidavits in lieu of examination in chief in the suits are filed in each suit in the year 2005; respondent is trying to protract the the proceedings. It is therefore, submitted that, under these circumstances, it is necessary to obtain direction from this Court. In my view, it is not necessary to issue notice to the respondent since relief of ‘expeditious hearing of the suit’ is the only relief claimed by the petitioner. The trial Court, therefore, shall dispose of the suits as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of one year from today. [ V. M. KANADE J.]
