The petitioner contended that due to dilatory tactics adopted by the opposite party, the petitioner is not getting justice from the court below. The petitioner further submits that the present appeal was admitted and the lower court records are called for by the lower appellate court from the trial court vide order dated 20.12.2022. The petitioner accordingly submits that unless and until a direction is passed upon the court below for expeditious disposal of the aforesaid proceeding, the petitioner shall suffer irreparable loss and injury. Accordingly, petitioner has made aforesaid prayer.

Since the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous and if an order is passed in terms of the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner, the opposite party will have no cause to prejudice, the service of copy of the application as well as notice upon the opposite party is dispensed with.
