IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 2147 of 2008 (M/S) Mohan Lal, S/o Late Bansi Dhar, R/o 276 L Garhi Cant, Dehradun, District Dehradun. …… Petitioner. Versus The District Judge, Dehradun, District Dehradun and others. … Respondents. Sri Lok Pal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri Ashish Joshi, learned Brief Holder for the respondent No.1. Date:- 12th December, 2008. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Heard Sri Lok Pal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Ashish Joshi, learned Brief Holder for the respondent No.1. Learned counsel for the petitioner has filed the present writ petition with the prayer that a suitable direction be given to the court below to decide the R.C.A. No. 156 of 2008 (Smt. Kamla Devi and others Vs. Mohan Lal) expeditiously within a stipulate period. This is a petition of a landlord-petitioner, who filed a release application U/s 21 (1) of U.P. Act No. 13 of 1972 and such application was allowed on 22-9-2008 in favour of the petitioner. Subsequently, the tenants – respondent Nos. 2 to 6 have filed an appeal on 29-9-2008 under Section 22 of the Act No. 13 of 1972, which is pending before the District Judge, Dehradun. Admittedly, the release application itself was allowed in favour of the landlord-petitioner on 22-9-2008. Subsequently as it is the evidence from the record, the appeal filed by respondent No. 2 to 6 is pending before the District Judge, Dehradun. Although, the prayer is innocuous in nature as the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks direction from this Court for expedite hearing of the appeal. This Court is not inclined to issue such direction at this stage in so far as the release application has been decided recently and the appeal was filed hardly as couple of months back. This writ petition is dismissed at this stage. However, it is open for the petitioner to file a fresh writ petition subsequently if any cause of action arises. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) M.K.
