IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 907 of 2011 Ram Kumar Gupta S/o Shri Shyam Lal Gupta, R/O 9/173, Raj Nagar, Ghaziabad through power of attorney Shri Upender Singh S/O Shri Laxman Singh R/O 121, Ghera Khalti, Nai Mandi, Muzaffarnagar. … Petitioner. Versus Smt. Darshna Mehra W/O Late Shri D.P.Mehra R/O 39 Old Dalanwala, Dehradun, District Dehradun. … Respondent. Mr. T.C.Pande, Advocate, holding brief of Mr. I.P.Kohli, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Date May 10, 2011. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. The only prayer made in this writ petition is that the Civil Judge (Senior Division) Dehradun may be directed to decide the O.S.No. 273 of 2008 Smt. Darshna Mehra Vs. Ram Kumar Gupta, pending in that court, within a time frame. The grievance of the petitioner, who is defendant in the suit before the trial court, is that in the suit bearing O.S. No. 273 of 2008, status quo order was passed ex parte by the trial court and thereafter, the plaintiff-respondent is not interested in the speedy disposal of the suit before the trial court. Since the suit is pending since the year 2008, therefore, in the interest of justice, the Civil Judge (Senior Division) Dehradun is directed to decide the O.S. No. 273 of 2008, expeditiously as far as possible, on merits, after hearing all the parties in accordance with law. With the said observations, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma, J.) RCP
