IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 746 of 2010. Sh. Gajendra Makkar. … Petitioner. Vs. Mr. Vipin Chandra Son of Mr. T.R.Kaila and two others. …Respondents. Date October 21, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Urgency Application No. 3875 of 2010) Mr. Ramji Srivastava, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Karan Anand, Advocate, learned counsel for the respondent. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a direction to the District Judge Dehradun to transfer the Original Suit No. 42 of 2001 Sri Gajendra Makkar Vs. Sri Vipin Chandra, pending in the court of II Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) Dehradun and for time bound decision of the suit. The grievance of the petitioner is that the No. 42 of 2001 is pending since the year 2001. It appears from a perusal of the record that initially the original suit no. 42 of 2001 was instituted in the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) Dehradun on 11-1-2001. It also appears that subsequently the suit was transferred from that court to the Court of II Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) Dehradun, where the suit is pending for disposal. Undisputedly a period of more than 9 years have elapsed since the institution of the suit. In the course of argument, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that the ends of justice would be served if a direction is issued to the court concerned for time bound decision of the suit. 2 In the above circumstances, the II Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) Dehradun is directed to decide the O.S. No. 42 of 2001, Gajendra Makkar Vs. Vipin Chandra and others on merits in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of one year from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. Both the parties shall co-operate with the trial court in the speedy disposal of the suit. If the court concerned is lying vacant at present, the petitioner may move an application under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure for transfer of the suit to any other competent court to the District Judge Dehradun, who shall pass appropriate order thereon, since the suit is pending since the year 2001. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. All pending applications stand disposed of accordingly. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
