DATE : 15.11.2006 DATE : 15.11.2006 DATE : 15.11.2006 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this application, the applicant is seeking extension of time to decide Special Civil Suit no.6 of 2002 pending before the learned Civil Judge, Sr.Dn., Panvel, Raigad. It appears that by order dated 24.8.2005 the trial Court was directed to decide the suit within four months therefrom. Thereafter, the time was extended by three months vide order dated 6.6.2006, at the request of the learned Civil Judge, Sr.Dn., Panvel. This time the request has come from the applicant/original plaintiff in the suit. I fail to understand as to why the trial Court has not made such request for extension of time and left it to the parties to seek extension. Such practice cannot be appreciated. -2- However, to avoid further delay and as an exception, I am allowing this application. Time to dispose of the suit, as prayed for, is extended for a period of three months from today. Office to communicate this order to the trial court forthwith. 3. The civil application is disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
