Judgement reserved since 4 months

ANKUSH (Querist) 22 March 2014 This query is : Resolved
Hi
In a rent matter of my client - the judgement was reserved for more than 4 months ago in hon'ble Delhi HC after final arguments were complete (by a single judge bench who has subsequently been transferred to another bench after hearing final arguments).
Now in case my client mentions the matter before the judge or his court, chances are - he might get annoyed, & adverse judgement is passed, else we keep on waiting?
Now kindly advise on below queries:
1. What's the way out & what should my client do next?
2. Are there any guidelines as to till what time the judgement can be reserved?
3. What if (extreme case), judgement goes against my client - can he go in for a revision or appeal to a larger bench of HC only (before moving to Supreme Court) citing this fact that there was inordinate delay in pronouncement of judgement & same was kept reserved for over 4 months?
4. Or in such case there is no option but to appeal in SC?
Kindly advise

Regards

1. Mention the matter anyway. Since the Jude who heard you is changed, the matter is likely to heard again afresh.
2. No specific guidelines.
3 &4. SLP if this is not a writ.
