It is alleged by the petitioner, that the petitioner filed a suit against the respondent nos. 2 to 5 for cancellation of sale deed before the Civil Judge (Senior Division) Dehradun on 21.1.2004. The plaintiff-petitioner also filed and application for temporary injunction. The trial court did not grant ex parte ad interim injunction, rather issued notices to the defendants. Aggrieved, the plaintiff-petitioner preferred appeal before the District Judge, Dehradun, who passed an order on 8-7-2005 in Misc. Civil Appeal directing both the parties to maintain status-quo. It is alleged that during the pendency of proceedings before the District judge, the respondent no. 2 sold part of property to third person. Then the plaintiff petitioner moved application for amendment to impleading the persons who purchased the disputed property and for consequential amendments in the plaint. Subsequently, the suit was transferred to the court of respondent no.1 under the order of the District Judge dated 17.1.2006. It is also alleged that the written statement has not been filed by the defendants in the said suit and the defendants are adopting delay tactics to prolong the litigation and to cause injury to the petitioner, who is ages 84 years. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the respondent no.1 to decide the Original Suit No. 48 of 2004, Smt. Pushpa Prasad Vs. Smt.
