ORDER
Date : 23.09.2026
1. Heard Mr. R. Sensua, learned counsel for the petitioners.
2. This is an application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 in respect of Misc. (J) Case No.505/2025 arising out of Title Suit No.292/2025 pending in the Court of the learned Civil Judge (Jr. Division) No.3, Kamrup (Metro) at Guwahati.
3. The respondents filed an injunction petition before the Trial Court, which has not been disposed of. As the petitioners are scheduled to organize a book fair in Guwahati next month, they have prayed for the expeditious disposal of the said application to avoid any disruption to the event.
4. I have gone through the record and I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners.
5. This Court is of the opinion that the said injunction petition deserves to be disposed of early.
6. Therefore, it is hereby directed that the learned Trial Court shall expeditiously disposed of the injunction petition i.e., Misc. (J) Case No.505/2025 within a period of 15 (fifteen) days of receiving the copy of this order.
7. With the aforesaid direction, the civil revision petition stands disposed of.
