ORAL ORDER
The present petition is filed seeking a limited prayer for a direction to the trial Court to expedite the disposal of O.S. No.1179/2008, re-numbered as O.S. No.83/2022, pending on the file of the Principal Civil Judge (Sr. Dn.), Bengaluru (for short, ‘the trial Court’).
2. Considering the limited nature of the order proposed to be passed by this Court, notice to the respondents is dispensed with.
3. The suit is one for declaration. Even after a lapse of 18 years, as is evident from the order sheet placed on record, the suit is still at the stage of cross-examination of the plaintiff’s witnesses, and thereafter, at the stage of filing of an additional written statement in view of the subsequent amendments to the pleadings. The order sheet of the trial Court does not disclose any justifiable reason for the delay in progressing with the suit.
4. In the circumstances, this Court is inclined to entertain the present petition. The trial Court is directed to dispose of
HC-KAR
O.S. No.83/2022 expeditiously, preferably within an outer limit of one year from the next date of hearing.
With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of.
