AI extract
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court, Writ-C No. 41340 of 2024, decided 23.1.2025 (Neutral Citation 2025:AHC:11486), Vikram D. Chauhan J. Writ petition seeking mandamus for expedition of Complaint Case No.95 of 2017 (Dhanari vs. Sri Ram General Insurance Co. Ltd.) pending before the Permanent Lok Adalat dismissed; delays attributed to advocates' strike despite Supreme Court prohibition; petitioner free to withdraw Vakalatnama and appear in person so that the Permanent Lok Adalat may proceed without delay.
What did the court decide?
No direction for expedition can be granted: the delays before the Permanent Lok Adalat were caused by advocates going on strike on various dates, even though the Supreme Court has prohibited such strikes and lawyers are not honouring its order. ¶10
