CORAM : RAVINDRA V. GHUGE AND Y. G. KHOBRAGADE, JJ.

DATE : 29.08.2024 PER COURT :- 1.

Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 26.04.2023 and 12.06.2024, the report is received from the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Jalgaon, dated 13.06.2024. The sealed envelope containing the report was opened in the Court hall. The report comprising 5 pages and the Annexures A to G (without pagination), are collectively marked as "X" for identification.

(( 2 )) 987-WP-4865-2023 2.

It appears from the report that both the litigating parties are casually proceeding with the matter and no serious efforts for an early adjudication are being taken by either of the sides. 3.

In view of the above, we direct the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Jalgaon, to ensure that both these proceedings of the year 2007, shall be conducted on at least three days in a week. If any party seeks adjournment on unreasonable or trivial grounds, such application be rejected and if deemed appropriate, cost may be imposed.

4.

Let the proceedings in Arbitration Application Nos. 02 of 2007 and 03 of 2007, be concluded on or before 31.01.2025. 5.

In view of the above directions, this Writ Petition is disposed off.

6.

The learned Registrar (Judicial) of this Court is directed to communicate to the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Jalgaon, that when he submits his report along with annexures, proper pagination should be done. A report with annexures, without

(( 3 )) 987-WP-4865-2023 pagination, is not an appreciable way of presenting the documents to the High Court.
