Dr. Devendra Pandey v. Ramendra Pandey & ORS

25.11.2022 SL No.30 Court No.8 (gc) FMAT 66 of 2015 CAN 1 of 2015 (Old No: CAN 4861 of 2015) Dr. Devendra Pandey Vs.

Sri Ramendra Pandey & Ors.

This matter appeared in the warning list on 16th November, 2022 with a clear indication that the appeal shall be transferred to the daily list on 21st November, 2022.

The appellant is not represented nor any accommodation is prayed for on behalf of the appellant, although, the appellant has sufficient knowledge and notice of the listing of this matter. This appeal was filed in or around January, 2015 but since then no attempt has been made to move this appeal or the connected application. The defect indicated by the Additional Stamp Reporter on 30th January, 2015 has not yet been removed.

The appeal is arising out of an order passed on 2nd January, 2015 in connection with an application filed under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The suit was filed on 2nd January, 2015 and the injunction application was taken out on the same date. The plaintiff/petitioner alleged that the defendants are disturbing possession of the plaintiff in respect of the suit property. The learned Trial Judge wanted to be satisfied with regard to the allegations made

in the petition. The discretion exercised by the learned Trial Judge in refusing to pass ad-interim order does not call for any interference.

However, we dispose of the appeal and the application by directing the learned Judge, VIth Bench, City Civil Court at Calcutta to dispose of the Title Suit as expeditiously as possible without granting any adjournment to either of the parties unless it is unavoidable. In the event the injunction application is still pending, the same should be disposed of within three months from the date of communication of this order by the Office of the Registrar Administration (L&OM). The Registrar Administration (L&OM) must ensure compliance of this order.

We make it clear that the learned Trial Judge shall not be influenced by the observation made by us in this order and shall decide the application and the suit, if are pending, on merits.
