Versus

Writ Petition No. 12024 Of 2024 (GM-CPC)
Decided On : 05-12-2025
 

Advocates Appeared:
For the Appellant : Sri. Raghavendra K., Adv.

The court mandated the trial court to expedite the consideration of an interim application after confirming defendants' appearances and objections, emphasizing procedural efficiency.

Headnote:(A) Constitution of India - Article 227 - Writ petition challenging order of Civil Judge - The court addresses the plaintiff's request for the trial court to consider interim application after defendants have entered appearance and filed written statements - The court directs the trial court to expedite the consideration of the application within one month. (Paras 1-4)

(B) Civil Procedure Code - Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 - Governs the process for seeking interim relief - The court considers the merits of the application based on the defendants' engagement.

Facts of the case:
The writ petition was filed by the appellant against an order passed in O.S.No.157/2024 regarding an interim application under the CPC. The trial court delayed consideration of the application until notice was served on the defendants, who had already appeared and submitted objections.

Findings of Court:
The appellate court finds no impediment to proceeding and mandates the trial court to consider I.A.No.1 on its merits, ensuring prompt attention within one month.

Issues: Whether the trial court should have considered the interim application promptly given that all defendants had submitted written statements and objections.

Ratio Decidendi: The court emphasizes the necessity for the trial court to consider pending applications expeditiously once the defendants are duly served and have responded, reinforcing procedural efficiency.

Result: Writ petition disposed of as directed.

ORDER :

S.VISHWAJITH SHETTY, J.

1. The plaintiff is before this Court in this writ petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, assailing the Order dated 06.01.2024 passed in O.S.No.157/2024 by the XII Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bangalore.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the defendants in O.S.No.157/2024 have already entered appearance and they have filed their written statements as well as objections to I.A.No.1 filed on behalf of the plaintiff under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 of CPC. He submits that therefore this writ petition may be disposed of by directing the trial Court to consider I.A.No.1 on its merits and dispose of the same within a time frame.

3. The trial Court vide the order impugned has observed that the prayer made in I.A.No.1 filed in O.S.No.157/2024 could be considered after notice is served on the defendants.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has now made a submission that all the defendants are served and they have already filed written statements as well as objections to I.A.No.1. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that there is no impediment for disposing of this writ petition as prayed for by the petitioner. Accordingly, the following:

ORDER
