CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J. 16th June, 2007 16th June, 2007 16th June, 2007 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. This petition is directed against the order below Exh.160 in Reg.Civil Suit No.276 of 1996 rejecting the petitioner/original plaintiff’s application for deletion of defendant nos. 3 to 453 from the array of parties. These defendants have been impleaded according to the Court below in pursuance of an order passed earlier which order has been upheld right upto this Court. In such circumstances, request for deleting them has been rejected. 2. After perusing the petition and annexures thereto, I do not find any reason to interfere with such an order in my jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, more particularly, when it is based upon the earlier orders in the suit. 3. Writ Petition is dismissed summarily. 4. At this stage Shri Dalvi, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner/original plaitiff upon taking instructions makes a statement that the plaintiff does not wish to press for any relief in the suit as against defendant nos.3 to 453 and, therefore, prays that a direction be given for expeditious disposal of the suit which is pending in the trial Court since 1996. This request is reasonable and it is directed that the suit shall be disposed of within a period of six months from the date of the receipt of the copy of this order, by the Trial Court.
