Versus

General Public and others ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUVIR SEHGAL Present:- Ms. Shaveta Sanghi, Advocate for the petitioners. **** SUVIR SEHGAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

Limited prayer in the instant revision petition is for direction to the learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Karnal to expeditiously decide the miscellaneous applications, Annexures P-4 and P-7, respectively, as well as the main petition, Annexure P-1, filed under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925.

2.

Counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners are the widow and two minor children of deceased-Deepak Singla, who are being deprived of the property left behind by the deceased. She submits that the petition, Annexure P-1, was filed in September, 2022 and is pending adjudication as it is being resisted by the contesting respondents by filing various applications. She submits that pursuant to the previous order passed by this Court, petitioners made a statement before the learned Civil Judge on 03.07.2025 and have given up respondent No.5 being as unnecessary. She submits that as service upon the respondents is complete, a direction be issued to the learned Court to decide the main petition as expeditiously as possible in a time bound manner.

CR-3387-2025 -23.

Having heard counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of prayer made by her, this Court does not deem it necessary to call upon the respondents.

4.

Admittedly, petition, Annexure P-1, for grant of succession certificate is pending for the last more than three years. Claim of a widow and two minor children has yet to be determined. This petition is, therefore, disposed of with a request to the learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Karnal to make an endeavour and dispose of the petition, Annexure P-1, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of communication of a copy of this order.
