5.

The learned Trial Court is proceeding with the matters in accordance with its own board after keeping in view the pendency and age of cases before it. In such circumstances, it would not be appropriate to issue any direction to the trial Court for expeditious disposal or to decide the matter in a time-bound manner.

Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of.

Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. RAJNEESH KUMAR GUPTA, J APRIL 02, 2026/sds/isk The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 06/04/2026 at 10:12:16
