CRM-M-7852-2024 2024:PHHC:020681 -2order dated 27.04.2022, the Court of Additional Sessions Judge Faridabad, had issued notice to the respondent and no stay was granted to him. Thereafter, the respondent made every possible effort to delay the proceedings before the Revisional Court. Consequently, he prays that appropriate directions may be issued to the Revisional Court to dispose off the revision in a time bound manner.

3.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

At this stage, there is no need to issue notice to the respondent as the prayer made by the petitioner is only limited to the extent of issuance of directions for early disposal of the revision petition in the present case. 5.

From the record, it is apparent that revision petition is pending since 27.04.2022, i.e., for more than 01 year and 10 months. The Revisional Court is directed to decide the revision petition within a period of 06 months from today after affording opportunity of hearing to both the sides. 6.
