Accordingly, the present application stands disposed of. CM(M) 2062/2023, CM APPL. 64737/2023

This petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, impugns the order dated 24.01.2023 passed by the Additonal District Judge, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi ('Trial Court') in a civil suit bearing CS DJ No. 618788/16 titled as 'Krishan Kumar v. Ashok Kumar & Ors.', whereby the Trial Court had disposed of an application filed by the Respondent No. 2 herein, under Order 39, Rule 2A, Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 ('CPC') and issued directions to the Station House Officer (SHO) for ensuring compliance of the directions contained therein.

2. The Petitioner has also impugned the order dated 25.08.2023 passed in the said civil suit, whereby the application filed by the Petitioner seeking review of the impugned order dated 24.01.2023 has been dismissed by the Trial Court.
