6.

Admittedly, case was taken up in the year 2018 for final arguments but such arguments have yet not been heard fully and concluded. It is apprised that matter remained part-heard on few occasion as well. 7.

Next date of hearing before the learned Trial Court is stated to be 04.12.2024.

Though without appreciating the exact workload and board position of the concerned learned Trial Court, it may not be proper to give any time-bound frame for disposal but keeping in the fact that the suit is of year 2007 and is running for final arguments since the year 2018, present petition is disposed with the request to learned Trial Court to make best endeavour to dispose of the above-said suit as expeditiously as possible and preferably within four months from the date fixed before it i.e. 04.12.2024. 9.

Petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (MANOJ JAIN) JUDGE SEPTEMBER 30, 2024/dr CM(M) 3511/2024 2 By:SONIA THAPLIYAL 15:34:42
