IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 214 of 2010 (M/S) Shri Dharam Singh Thakur ………..Petitioner Versus Shri Narayan Seel …….Respondent Shri Neeraj Garg, learned counsel for the petitioner. None is present for the respondent. Dated: 17 May, 2010 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Heard Shri Neeraj Garg, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. Present petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking direction to the learned IInd Additional Civil Judge (Jr. Div.) Dehradun, to decide the Original Suit no.170/2007 ‘ Shri Dharam Singh Thakur Vs. Narayan Seel’, pending before him, as expeditiously as possible. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner is the owner/landlord of land forming part of Khasra no.1193/1, 1195/1 and 1192/1 situated at village Raipur (Old Bus Stand) Pargana Parwa, District Dehradun and the respondent is the tenant on a portion of said land on behalf of the petitioner. The petitioner instituted Original Suit no.170/2007 ‘Shri Dharam Singh Thakur Vs. Narayan Seel’ before the Court of learned Civil Judge (Jr. Div.)/Judge Small Cause Court, Dehradun now pending before the Court IInd Additional Civil Judge (Jr. Div.), Dehradun for 2 seeking decree of eviction against the respondent from land in question after removing structures raised by the respondent on the said land. About more than 3 years have been passed and about 30 dates have been fixed in the matter, but the suit has not been decided so far due to delaying tactics of respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is being harassed and is facing severe mental and financial hardship due to delay in disposal of the aforesaid Suit. I have perused the record and after considering submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court finds that the prayer for early disposal of the suit seems to be bonafide and innocuous. Therefore, IInd Additional Civil Judge (Jr. Div.), Dehradun is directed to decide the Original Suit no.170/2007 “Dharam Singh Thakur Vs. Naryan Seel” pending before him expeditiously, preferably within a period of 1 year from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. (V.K. Bist, J.) Arpan 17.05.2010
