I have an appeal filed in the year 2000 pending in the High Court, Mumbai. The original suit is 35 years old - and the matter has to revert back to the trial court after the appeal in the high court.
In spite of it being such an old matter, the high court does not seem to be interested in hearing the appeal. Everyday it hears appeals in matters filed even decades after my matter, but presumably is too busy to hear mine.
I have been told that I can file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court, but the SLP has to be filed against an order passed by the High Court. In this case there is no order - the matter is just orally refused to be heard.
What is the solution? How do I file a special leave petition in the supreme court asking it to expedite the hearing of my appeal, without there being a prior order from the High Court?
