1 WP-627-10.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Mhi WRIT PETITION NO. 627 OF 2010 Ramadhar R. Kurmi .. Petitioner (Org.plaintiff) vs. Rev. Father Joseph Paraxedes Periera & Ors. Respondents (Org.Defendants) Mr.Ail Yadav i/b. Ajay Mishra, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr.Pradeep Tiwari,Advocate for the respondents/ CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 28th September, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard. 2. Notice of Motion No.4858/2001 is pending for last about 9 years and is not yet decided for one or the other reason. No purpose will be served in making search as to who was at fault. In that Notice of Motion, the present petitioner, who is the plaintiff, sought to file a rejoinder which was rejected because of the long delay on his par and that order is challenged in the present Writ Petition. Some ad-interim protection against demolition without following procedure of law is operating in favour of the plaintiff/petitioner according to the learned Counsel for the plaintiff. If it is so, in my considered opinion, no purpose 2 WP-627-10.sxw will be served by wasting time in hearing and deciding Notice of Motion after long period of 9 years. It will be better to hear and finally dispose of the suit within specified period. 3. Therefore, with consent of the learned Counsel, the petition is disposed of with the following directions :- (i) The trial Court shall expedite the hearing of S.C. Suit No.6001/2001 and dispose of the same on or before the end of February, 2011. If any of the parties have not filed written statement, the same may be filed within four weeks from this day.
