Murugan, v. Vijayalakshmi
Case brief
What is this about?
This was a civil revision petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to expeditiously dispose of an older suit. The High Court refused to fix a specific time-limit due to lack of pendency data, directing the petitioner to approach the trial court instead, which is expected to prioritize old cases per court circulars.
