Case brief
What is this about?
Single-judge disposal of a miscellaneous writ petition (WPMS No.1214 of 2026, decided 06.05.2026). Subject: procedural direction to the District Judge, Nainital to hear a stay application in a pending revision — or decide the revision on merits — once respondent no.1 is served; the impugned order dated 17.04.2026 recorded that the petitioner-revisionist had not taken steps to serve respondent no.1. No statute or precedent cited; no monetary quantum. Relevant to practice-and-procedure points on service steps and expedition requests in revisions before the District Judge, Nainital.
What did the court decide?
With the above observations, the petition stands disposed of: the learned District Judge, Nainital is requested — should respondent no.1 stand served — to hear the petitioner on the Stay Application or, if the parties are ready to argue on the merit, to decide the revision as soon as possible.
