Civil Revision No. 862 of 2010 -1- *** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 862 of 2010 Date of decision : 10.3.2010 ICICI Bank Ltd. Petitioner Versus M/s Orient Clothing Pvt. Ltd. and others Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. D.S.Patwalia, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Sumeet Goel, Advocate for respondents No. 1 to 3. S. D. ANAND, J. It is apparent from the presentation made before this Court that the two pleas filed by the petitioner herein i.e. one under Order 7 Rule 11 C.P.C. and the other under Order 7 Rule 10 C.P.C.are undisposed of till date inspite of the fact that a number of adjournments came to be granted all along. The matter came to be adjourned on various dates of hearing, on one pretext or the other. There are certain interim directions favourable to the respondent herein which are, by the very nature of things, interim in character. It is appropriate that such like long pendency which touches the very maintainability of the suit is avoided. The petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned Trial Court to hear arguments in respect of above noticed two pending pleas on 20.3.2010 itself and dispose of the same within the Civil Revision No. 862 of 2010 -2- *** period required for pronouncement of the orders in the relevant behalf. The order qua direction to the above effect is a consensual arrangement. The comments of the learned Presiding Officer, in the context of the averred inordinate delay in disposal of the pleas aforementioned, had been ordered to be obtained. However, since the matter is being effectively disposed of on the basis of a consensual arrangement, this Court would not insist upon the obtaining of comments of the Trial Court. Learned Trial Court shall proceed to dispose the pleas aforementioned, completely unfazed by whatever observations may have been made in the course of this order. No part of this order is intended to or would be taken to be an expression of opinion on the merits thereof. March 10, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
