ORAL ORDER

¶63

(PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP SINGH YERUR)

¶64

The present petition is filed by petitioners, who

¶65

are the decree holders in O.S.No.46/2017 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Ramdurg. Having succeeded in the suit, the petitioners/plaintiffs initiated final decree proceedings in F.D.P.No.7/2022 and the same is pending adjudication before the Senior Civil Judge, Ramdurg, since 2022.

¶66

The limited prayer in this petition is to direct the learned Senior Civil Judge to dispose of the said proceedings expeditiously, including I.A.No.9 filed under Order I Rule 10(2) of Civil Procedure Code, at the earliest.

¶67

This court does not find any requirement of issuance of the notice to the respondents, as no relief is sought against the respondents and this court is not inclined to pass any orders against the respondents.

¶70

Considering the fact that, the original suit is of

¶71

the year 2017 and the petitioners have succeeded in obtaining a decree and further that the first appeal filed before this Court in RFA No.100015/2024 came to be dismissed on 17.09.2024, there is no challenge pending against the said decree. The FDP proceedings, however, have not been concluded. Hence, the petitioners are before this court seeking appropriate directions.

¶72

I am in agreement with the learned counsel for the petitioners that the FDP court would have to proceed expeditiously to dispose of the matter, as the First Appeal has attained finality and there is no further challenge pending before this court.
