Hon'ble Judges:
Counsels:
For Appellant/Petitioner/Plaintiff:
For Respondents/Defendant:
UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following
ORDER
Delay condoned.
Having heard learned
counsel for the parties at some length, we are of the view that instead of
going into the merits of the impugned orders at this stage, it would be
expedient and proper if the trial Court is ..2/- : 2 : directed to dispose of
the applications filed by the parties under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 as also
under Rule 4 of Order 39, C.P.C. in Regular Suit Nos. 3 and 2 of 2011
expeditiously.
We may note that by the impugned orders dated 9th October, 2012
and 6th July, 2012, the High Court has directed the trial Court to dispose of
the said applications within a period of 60 days/six months from the date of
receipt of copy of their orders. We are, however, informed that the said
applications have not even been taken up for consideration.
Under the circumstances, we
direct the trial Court to dispose of the said applications as expeditiously as
possible but in any case, not later than four weeks from the date of receipt of
copy of this order. Learned counsel appearing for the parties assure us that
their clients shall not seek adjournment and shall render full cooperation in the
disposal of the said applications.
The special leave petitions
stand disposed of accordingly.
