IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 995 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 25.2.2009 Harnarain ....Petitioner Versus Rajender and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Sanjay Mittal, advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL J **** Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that without addressing arguments on merits of the controversy with regard to the fact as to whether the appeal was maintainable against the order passed by the trial Court before the learned Lower Appellate Court, he would be satisfied in case a direction is issued to the learned trial Court to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner/plaintiff for passing of final decree after disposing of the objection filed by some of the judgment-debtors/co-sharers in the property regarding mode of partition. He submitted that the suit for possession by way of partition was filed by the petitioner-plaintiff in the year 1980. Preliminary decree was passed on 1.9.1984. Even the appeal against the preliminary decree filed by some of the defendants in the suit was dismissed in 1987. However, the application filed by the petitioner for passing of final decree is pending since the year 1996. The petitioner is a senior citizen of about 80 years of age. Keeping in view the aforesaid fact, the trial Court is directed to expedite the disposal of the application filed by the petitioner for passing of final decree after considering the objections raised by some of the judgment-debtors. Let the same be decided within three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. The revision petition stands disposed of. (RAJESH BINDAL) 25.2.2009 JUDGE Reema
