Quick Summary

This discussion explores the possibility of filing a petition in the High Court to compel lower courts to expedite the disposal of civil cases. It confirms that a writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution can be filed, directing the trial court to resolve the case within a specified timeframe. While this is a viable option, the effectiveness in making a significant difference is also noted.

Presumably it is a civil case as you have stated, ".....there is pending even an injuction petitions(IAs) years together...."

Yes, you should move a writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, 1949 for issuance of a writ of mandamus to the Trial Court for early disposal of the case, within a time frame.
