WPMS No. 1146 of 2010 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Mr. Lok Pal Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Siddhartha Singh, Advocate for the respondents. The suit was decreed ex-parte. The petitioner, being the defendant, upon coming to know about the ex-parte order, filed an application under Order 9 Rule 13 of the C.P.C. which is pending consideration since 18th February, 2008. More than two years have elapsed and the trial court has not decided the matter on merit. Considering the facts and circumstances that has been brought on record, I dispose of the writ petition directing the trial court to consider and decide the application under Order 9 Rule 13 of the C.P.C. after hearing all parties concerned by a reasoned and speaking order within three months from the date of the production of a certified copy of the order. This order has been passed in the presence of the counsel for the plaintiff. It is made clear that the parties would not seek undue adjournment before the trial court. (Tarun Agarwala, J.)
