Delay in judgement

sree rama kumar (Querist) 19 November 2014 This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I filed O.s against person A to whom I lent money requesting the attachment of his property, a house. Accordingly decree was issued. I filed E.P.
Before the auction of the property, a person B filed a petition to stop the auction making a claim on the said property duly attaching a forged document( a stamp paper without containing the details of the vendor,etc.,. )He approached the court to permit him to pay the necessary stamp fee as decided by the revenue and registration authorities.
The agreement of sale of the house was made between A and B 13 years ago as written on the stamp paper. But the registration was not affected. The court withheld the auction. Subsequently I and the person A filed counter affidavits stating that the document is not valid. The arguments are over, the judgement was to be announced during June 2014. But the judge re-opened the case for arguments. From then onwards, the case is being postponed. The next date is in January, 2015. Undoubtedly this is a time dragging practice adopted by the lawyer of person B.He is becoming absent or requesting for time for his arguments. The pity is the judge has been obliging.
But unless, this is resolved, the auction will not take place, I do not get the money due to me.
Now my question is how to proceed now?
1. I inquired my lawyer whether it would be better to represent the judge to expedite the judgement explaining my financial difficulty. Then he stated such action would cause further delay because then the person B would be asked to file the counter and like that the case will be side tracked.
2. whether it would be better to represent the judge in person in his chambers. If so what is the procedure? whether any appointment should be obtained? whether such appointment can be taken on any day or only on the day of posting the case ?
3. Whether I can obtain the reasons for such postponing through Right to Information? If so, where can I get the details of the information officer and appellate authority? I checked up the website of A.P. high court, but could not get those details.

1. He is right. As long a lawyer is engaged you can not personally plead.
2.It is illegal and you may be criminally prosecuted for this.
3. Case record is there wherein the reasons are recorded.

To expedite the case you have only option to move to high court.
