JUDGMENT Tarlok Singh Chauhan, J —By way of this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have sought direction to the learned trial Court to expedite the hearing of the application moved by the petitioners/plaintiffs under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 CPC, which admittedly has remained undecided for nearly four years. 2. The prayer made in this petition appears to be innocuous and, therefore, there is no need to issue notice to the respondents. 3. Even though the suit was filed as far as back in the year 2014, yet it appears from the various zimini orders which have been placed on record that some of the defendants have yet not filed the written statement despite repeated opportunities, but what is more shocking is the fact that the application filed by the petitioners/ plaintiffs for grant of ad-interim injunction is yet not being decided despite a lapse period of four years. 4. The learned Civil Judge (Jr. Division) , Court No.3, Mandi is directed to explain the circumstances under which the application under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 CPC has remained undecided and further explain as to why despite a passage of four years, the time for filing written statement is still being granted to the defendants. Such explanation be furnished to this Court by 27.4.2018 and for this purpose, list this case before this Court on 1.5.2018. 5. The present petition is disposed of with the direction to the learned trial Court to decide the application filed by the plaintiffs under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 CPC as expeditiously as possible and preferably before 1st May, 2018. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
