By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the learned Additional Civil Judge Ist (Senior Division), Dehradun to decide the ad-interim injunction application (6c) and further to decide the O.S. No.98 of 2008, D.C. Bansal Vs. Smt. Pushpa Devi and others, expeditiously. According to the petitioner, O.S. No.98 of 2008 was filed by the petitioner before Addl. Civil Judge Ist (Senior Division), Dehradun for specific performance, in March 2008. Along with the suit, an application for ad-interim injunction was also moved by the petitioner. Although issues in the case were framed on 25.5.2009 but the case is still pending for disposal and the respondents are adopting delaying tactics by seeking unnecessary adjournments. Prayer made is innocuous. The learned Additional Civil Judge Ist (Senior Division), Dehradun is directed to decide the O.S. No.98 of 2008, D.C. Bansal Vs. Smt. Pushpa Devi and others, pending before him, preferably as far as 2 possible within a period of one year. If the ad-interim application has not been decided, the same shall also be decided preferably within a period of three months, from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S. Verma, J.) 9.3.2011 RG 2
