Is section 209 applicable?

This case illustrates how a shrewd tenant’s lawyer, an ineffective (or perhaps complicit) landlord’s advocate, and an indifferent judiciary have contributed to the stagnation of justice. In 2017, a landlord filed an eviction case against a tenant. The tenant disputed the eviction, presenting a purported sale agreement from 2000 that was neither stamped nor registered, as primary evidence. To bolster this weak claim, the tenant also produced repair bills as secondary evidence, alleging ownership of the property. The landlord’s advocate failed to challenge the admissibility and validity of these documents, allowing the court to grant interim relief to the tenant. Since then, the case has languished due to repeated adjournments IN INTEREST OF JUSTICE!!!, with no resolution in sight. This situation highlights the systemic inefficiencies that undermine the principles of justice and fairness in legal proceedings.

What is your query?

The case is going on and it is usual that the court cases take long time for disposal for various reasons.
