IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WPMS No. 1697 of 2010 Smt. Manorma Devi …..Petitioner. Versus Civil Judge (Junior Division), Kashipur, District Uhdam Singh Nagar and another …..Respondents. Present : Mr. M. S. Tyagi, Advocate for the petitioner. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) Heard Mr. M.S. Tyagi, Advocate for the petitioner. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking direction from this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for expeditious disposal of the matter pending before the Civil Judge (Junior Division) Kashipur, district Udham Singh Nagar being No. Civil Suit No.71 of 2004, Sanjay Kumar Vs. Smt. Manorma Devi and others. The case of the petitioner is that she is defendant in suit no. 71 of 2004 which has been filed by the plaintiff/respondent no.2 for permanent injunction. The application filed by plaintiff/respondent no.2 for temporary injunction has already been rejected. Now the plaintiff is only delaying the proceeding, which is evident from the orders which are presently annexed as Annexure No. 4. A perusal of the aforesaid orders shows that in spite of repeated opportunities, the plaintiff has not produced any single witness. Prima facie, this Court is of the opinion that process of the Court is abused and unnecessary delay is causing in the matter. It is, therefore, directed that the Court shall dispose of the matter expeditiously, preferably within one year, without granting any undue adjournments. Adjournments will be granted only if they are necessary, keeping in view that the matter pertains to the year 2004. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
