IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10306 of 2009 SMT.USHA SINHA & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 21.08.2009 Title Suit No.69 of 1983 was filed before the court of 1st Sub Jude, Muzaffarpur. The suit was for a decree of eviction of the defendants from the suit premises. The matter has dragged on from one decade to another. At one point of time an intervention of this Court was also sought for in C. R. No. 1560 of 1994 wherein vide order dated 9.8.1995 the High Court directed that the suit be expeditiously decided and disposed of within three months. 13 years thereafter has gone by. The evidence ended and arguments commenced on 11.8.2003 but not much progress has been made. The court is not available, which is the court of Sub Judge-V, Muzaffarpur, over a period indicated in para 7 of the writ application. Now the current position is that on 23.10.2008 the P.O. has again been transferred. The matter has not been concluded. One reason could be that defendants purposely want to prolong the suit for the obvious reason because the suit is for eviction. This Court is concerned that despite earlier direction way back in the year 1995, the trial court has not been able to deliver justice in the matter. This Court does not want to record any thing further in absence of the order sheet and the reasons being available but the Court disposes of the writ application with an observation that the District Judge will look into the - 2 - matter and issue appropriate direction and see that the hope expressed by the High Court earlier on 9.8.1995 is not belied any further. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observation. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
