JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri Munish Behl, Advocate, for Shri Sandeep Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. Shri Rajbir Singh Guran, Advocate, for the respondents. Hemant Gupta, J. (Oral) In the present revision petition, the plaintiff-petitioner claims direction to the learned trial Court to expedite the trial of the suit filed in the year 2003. As per the comments of the learned trial Court, the case is now fixed for the defendants’ evidence on 12.10.2010. Learned counsel for the respondents states that it is the plaintiff, who has taken a considerable time in concluding his evidence and thereafter also moved an application for permission to mortgage the property, which was ultimately withdrawn. It was on account of these acts, the trial could not proceed. Civil Revision No. 5540 of 2010 (O&M) [2] Be that as it may, but the fact remains that the suit for declaration was filed in the year 2003. Almost 7 years have gone-bye and the suit is still pending for the evidence of the defendants. In view of the said fact, the learned trial Court is directed to decide the suit expeditiously, preferably within a period of six months from the date fixed before the trial Court i.e. 12.10.2010. Revision petition stands disposed of in the above terms. [ HEMANT GUPTA ] JUDGE 8-10-2010 ds
