1. Prayer in the present revision petition is for issuance of directions to the Executing Court to decide the Execution Application bearing No.381 of 2023 dated 28.07.2023 (Annexure P-2) in a time bound manner.
2. The dashboard of the District Courts, Chandigarh, available on the website of National Judicial Data Grid, reveals that there are 3296 execution applications pending including 432 executions of 3 to 5 years old and 370 of 5 to 10 years old.
3. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case titled as High Court Bar Association, Allahabad Vs. State of U.P. & Ors. [2024 (2) RCR (Civil) 199] has held in para No.37(c) as under : “37(c) Constitutional Courts, in the ordinary course, should refrain from fixing a time-bound schedule for the CR-3191-2024 (O&M) disposal of cases pending before any other Courts.
Constitutional Courts may issue directions for the time- bound disposal of cases only in exceptional circumstances. The issue of prioritizing the disposal of cases should be best left to the decision of the concerned Courts where the cases are pending”
4. No exceptional circumstances have been shown to this Court for issuance of directions to the Executing Court to decide the Execution Application in a time bound manner. The present revision petition is accordingly dismissed. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed off. 23.05.2024 ( ALKA SARIN ) Yogesh Sharma JUDGE NOTE: Whether speaking/non-speaking: Speaking Whether reportable: YES/NO
