IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No.7025 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision: 21.1.2009. Pritpal Singh ....Petitioner Versus M/s Futuristic Solution Pvt. Ltd. ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr.Sandeep S. Majithia, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J. **** This petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India praying for a direction to the learned Presiding Officer, Permanent Lok Adalat, Amritsar, to dispose of the suit No.33 of 2007 dated 6.2.2007 filed by the respondent-plaintiff within some time stipulated in the spirit of the order dated 17.3.2007 (Annexure P- 1) passed by the Permanent Lok Adalat. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that despite the order dated 17.3.2007, the proceedings in the Court have not been finalized and the respondent has not complied with the order dated 17.3.2007 to deposit balance sale consideration although the petitioners are ready and willing to comply with the order dated 17.3.2007 passed by the Permanent Lok Adalat. It was further been submitted that an application under Sections 149/150/151 of the Code of Civil Procedure for extension of time limit C.R. No.7025 of 2008 (O&M) -2- of two months granted by the Permanent Lok Adalat for deposit of balance consideration amount, is pending with the Lok Adalat and no decision thereon has been taken and the same is being adjourned only. Prayer is for expeditious disposal of the said application, so that the matter can proceed further. I have gone through the award dated 17.3.2007 given by the Permanent Lok Adalat as well as the application moved by the respondent for extension of time. A perusal of these would show that the application needs to be decided earliest so that the rights of the parties are finally settled. A direction is, therefore, issued to the Permanent Lok Adalat Amritsar to decide the application under Sections 149/150/151 of the Code of Civil Procedure moved by the respondent-plaintiff for extension of time limit within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This petition stands disposed of with the above direction. (RAJESH BINDAL) 21.1.2009 JUDGE Reema
