Civil Revision No. 357 of 2009 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 357 of 2009 Date of decision: 12.2.2009 Mrs. Rachpal Kaur ...Petitioner Versus Col. Manmohan Singh Bains (Retd.) and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D.ANAND. Present: Ms. Supriya Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Raman Mahajan, Advocate for respondents No. l & 2 Mr. Amit Aggarwal, Advocate for respondent no.3. S.D.ANAND, J. The only plea made by the petitioner, in this petition, is for a direction to the learned Trial Court to dispose of the cause under reference within a period of six months. In support of the request, sustenance is drawn from the instructions issued by this Court directing priority in disposal of the cases pertaining to the senior citizens. The petitioner claims to be a senior citizen. The petitioner has placed on record the interim orders passed by the learned Trial Court for the last about three years. It is apparent therefrom that the case, for whatever reasons, did come to be repeatedly adjourned for one purpose or the other. In the counter, respondents no. 1 and 2 have raised a plea that delay had been occasioned on account of inability on the part of the Trial Court in securing the presence of Mst. Beant Kaur (respondent no.3 herein). The averment, in the context, is that once the presence of Mst. Civil Revision No. 357 of 2009 -2- **** Beant Kaur is secured, the matter could be pursued to its logical conclusion in terms of the provisions of Order 32-A read with Section 10 of the C.P.C. Without at all commenting upon the merits or otherwise of the respective pleadings of the parties, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned Trial Court to dispose of the suit itself within six months from the next date of hearing. The acknowledgment (of a copy of this order) issued by the concerned Judicial Officer shall be forwarded to the Registry of this Court. Learned Sessions Judge shall himself maintain a tab to ensure that the case is disposed of by afore-mentioned date. February 12, 2009 (S.D.Anand) Pka Judge
