1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Letter O.W. No. 489/2008 in WRIT PETITION No. 2455/2007 (Decided) (Vitthal Nityanand Mohite & ors. Vs. State of Mah. & ors.) Appeal District : Application No. of 200 Writ petition Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. Mr. Deepak Thakare, A.G.P., for R- 1. CORAM :D.D. SINHA & SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 22, 2008. Perused the letter dated 25/1/2008 received by Registry of this Court from the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Akola, whereby a request is made for grant of further time to comply with the directions issued by the Division Bench of this Court vide order dated 7th August, 2007 passed in Writ Petition No. 2455/2007 whereby the Civil Judge was directed to decide the Misc. Judicial Case No. 11/2007 within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the writ of this Court. Rest of the part of the order is not relevant for our 2 purpose. It is really surprising that in spite of our order whereby the Civil Judge was directed to decide the Misc. Judicial Case No. 11/2007 within a period of four months, the Civil Judge not only failed to comply the said order, but also failed to submit a request letter to this Court for extension of time, before the expiry of time which was granted by us. We deprecate this practice and in future we want that the Judges of the lower judiciary must scrupulously follow the directions given by this Court and for some adequate reason, if the directions cannot be complied with within the stipulated period, then they must submit a request for extension of time within time giving reason for non-compliance of such directions. In the instant case, as an exception, we grant further time of three months to dispose of the proceedings as directed by us. No further time shall be granted. Office to communicate this order to the Civil Judge, Senior 3 Division, Akola. JUDGE JUDGE RMP
