In a recent decision, Judge K. Sujana addressed a delay in handling a case involving Miryala Prathap Rao and Miryala Mangathara. Here's a breakdown of what happened.

What's the Case About?

Miryala Prathap Rao filed a request because the trial court wasn't dealing with his application quickly enough. The case is about who owns a piece of property, and Prathap Rao claims he's the real owner.

"The petitioner is the true owner of the property in question."

Why the Delay?

The trial court granted a temporary order against Miryala Prathap Rao without him being present. He argued that this was done without following the right steps and that the court was taking too long to make a decision, even after he responded in April 2025.

The Property Dispute

Miryala Prathap Rao had already filed a case to divide the property in 2024, which involved the same property. He claims that Miryala Mangathara, the other person involved, didn't mention this ongoing case when getting the temporary order.

Court's Ruling

Judge K. Sujana pointed out that the trial court was not following the rules properly. The judge told the trial court to decide on the application quickly and not to delay any further.

"The trial Court is directed to consider and dispose of I.A.No.65 of 2025 strictly in accordance with law."

What's Next?

The trial court must now make a decision by the next hearing date, without unnecessary delays.

This decision highlights the importance of courts acting quickly and following the rules to ensure justice is served without delay.
