AMARINDER SINGH GREWAL, J. (ORAL) –

1. The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India with a prayer for issuance of directions to the learned trial Court to pronounce judgment and decree in Civil Suit No. 494 of 2024, titled as “Rekha v. Ram Kishan and others”(Annexure P-1), pending before the Court of the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Jhajjar, in terms of Order XII Rule 6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, within a time-bound frame.

2. The brief facts of the case are that respondent No.1/plaintiff instituted a suit for possession by way of specific performance of contract with consequential relief of permanent injunction on the basis of an agreement to sell dated 12.02.2024. During the pendency of the said suit, the petitioner/defendant No.3 moved an application for early hearing stating that they were ready and willing to execute the sale deed in favour of the plaintiff, whereas the plaintiff was deliberately delaying the execution on the pretext of not having sufficient funds to pay the balance sale consideration. The said application, however, was dismissed with the observation that the defendants could make their submissions regarding readiness and willingness to execute the sale deed and the plaintiff could be directed to get the same executed in her favour on the next date of hearing after making payment of the balance sale consideration. It is further the case of the petitioners that on 17.07.2025 (Annexure P-4), petitioner/defendant No.3 made a statement in compliance with the order dated 11.12.2024 (Annexure P-3), specifically praying for passing of judgment and decree or, in the alternative, for issuing directions to the plaintiff to get the sale deed executed after paying the balance sale consideration. However, without considering the request made by the defendant/petitioner, the learned trial Court adjourned the matter for filing of the plaintiff’s written statement and reply in the stay application. Despite the aforesaid statement of petitioner/defendant No.3 recorded on 17.07.2025 (Annexure P-4), the matter has continued to be adjourned from time to time on one pretext or the other, and is still pending adjudication.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that all sincere and genuine efforts of reconciliation between the parties have failed. He further contends that the deliberate delay on the part of the respondents-plaintiffs is causing constant emotional disturbance and relentless anxiety to the petitioner, apart from paving the way for multiplicity of proceedings in the interregnum. In these circumstances, learned counsel prays for issuance of directions to the learned trial Court to decide Civil Suit No. 494 of 2024, which is pending adjudication, within a time-bound frame.

4. In view of the order proposed to be passed, notice is not being issued to respondents/plaintiffs as it would delay the proceedings besides entailing additional expenses to the respondents-plaintiffs.

5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the material placed on record.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts, the present petition is disposed of and the learned Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.) Jhajjar is directed to decide the suit as expeditiously as possible.

Order accordingly.
