Summary: Sunkara Kiriti's request for a quick resolution in a pending case against Sri Gomathiamman Constructions was turned down by the Madras High Court. Justice M. Jothiraman emphasized fairness in court procedures.
Sunkara Kiriti, along with Sunkura Vani and Sunkara Hema, asked for a faster trial for a case from 2022. The case is waiting in the Principal District and Sessions Court in Tiruvallur. Kiriti's lawyer, Mr. R.S. Raveendhren, argued that the delay was causing a lot of trouble.
"The case is from the year 2022 and has been pending for more than two years, which causes a lot of trouble and cannot be fixed easily for the petitioner."
Justice M. Jothiraman explained that the High Court cannot order faster trials without good reasons. He mentioned past decisions, highlighting the need to be fair and consistent in handling cases.
"Giving orders randomly for quick completion of cases would not help the cause of justice."
The court emphasized that rushing cases without real urgency could lead to unfair treatment of others involved in lawsuits. Justice Jothiraman mentioned the Supreme Court's view that courts should avoid setting strict deadlines unless absolutely necessary.
"Higher courts should avoid setting strict deadlines for finishing cases in other courts."
The court decided not to set a strict deadline for the lower court but encouraged it to handle the case efficiently. The petition was closed without any costs.
"The Principal District and Sessions Court, Tiruvallur should handle the case as quickly as possible."
Justice M. Jothiraman's decision shows a commitment to fairness, ensuring that each case gets the attention it deserves without rushing the legal process.
