                                     Vs.

Present :   Ms. V.S. Chauhan, Advocate for the petitioner.




                                JUDGMENT

Hon'ble Ravindra Maithani, J. (Oral)

The petitioner seeks direction that Misc. Case

No. 48 of 2022 (New No. 26 of 2023), Smt. Maya Devi Vs.

Jaipal Singh and others, pending in the court of 2nd

Judicial Magistrate, District Haridwar ("the case") may be

decided expeditiously.

2. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would

submit that the case is pending since, 2022, but it has

yet not been decided. The petitioner is 60 years of age.

Therefore, directions for expeditious disposal of the case

be issued.

4. Order sheets of the case have been filed, which

reveals that the case was instituted on 19.02.2022. On

22.11.2023, an order for interim maintenance was also

passed.

5. Undoubtedly, a case has to be decided as

expeditiously as possible. But then, what is the priority of

each case that has to be decided by the court concerned

keeping in view the pendency of the cases, the arrears,

the type of cases etc.

6. This Court has no data as to what is the

number and type of cases that are pending before the

court concerned. Therefore, direction to decide the case in

a particular period may, perhaps, not be given. However,

this Court has no doubt that the court below shall make

all endeavours to decide the case as expeditiously as

possible, as per priority and pendency of the cases in that

court.

7. With the above observation, the petition stands

disposed of, accordingly.
