Civil Revision No. 6392 of 2011 1 .. IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 6392 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: October 19th, 2011 Ved Parkash .... Petitioner Versus Dr. Raj Kumar Gupta and others .... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJENDER SINGH MALIK Present Mr. Kulwant Singh Dhanora, Advocate, for the petitioner. VIJENDER SINGH MALIK, J. This revision petition is brought by Ved Parkash Gupta, one of the defendants, under the provisions of Article 227 of the Constitution of India praying for a direction to the court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Ludhiana to dispose of application (Annexure P/1) of Dr. R.K.Gupta for passing of final decree in civil suit No. 5 dated 8.12.1989 titled Dr. Raj Kumar Gupta Vs. Sohan Lal Gupta and others, expeditiously. In the suit filed on 8.12.1989, with the title as aforesaid, the then Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Ludhiana passed a preliminary decree on 7.2.2005. The said decree was affirmed by the court of learned Additional District Judge, Ludhiana on 27.1.2010. The proceeding for passing final decree thereon is said to be pending in the court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Civil Revision No. 6392 of 2011 2 .. Division), Ludhiana for 22.10.2011. The order sheet, reproduced in the grounds of revision, reveals that the proceedings are being casually taken. The order dated 21.4.2011 reveals that reply to the application for passing final decree was filed on that date and the proceedings were adjourned to 21.5.2011 for consideration. On 21.5.2011, the proceedings were adjourned on request for 10.8.2011 for consideration. The next order mentioned in the grounds of revision is dated 24.9.2011 vide which, on request, the proceedings have been adjourned for consideration to 22.10.2011. The parties are before the court from 8.12.1989 and after passing of the preliminary decree, which has become final, the passing of final decree is taking time and is being considered in a casual manner. These circumstances certainly require a direction from this court to the court concerned for expeditious disposal of the proceedings for passing final decree. Consequently, the revision petition is allowed and the court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Ludhiana is directed to decide the proceedings for passing a final decree as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months from the receipt of a copy of this order. (VIJENDER SINGH MALIK) JUDGE October 19th, 2011 som
