ORDER

¶21

The Civil Revision Petition has been filed seeking a direction to dispose of the suit in O.S.No.91 of 2021, pending on the file of the learned Subordinate Judge, Devakottai, within a specified time fixed by this Court.

¶30

co-operating with the trial Court to conduct the trial, that the revision petitioner is a senior citizen and that therefore, the trial has to be expedited.

¶31

The fact remains that the suit was filed in the year 2021. The High Court has already issued circulars to the District Judiciary, directing the Courts to give priority for the cases relating to Senior Citizens, HIV affected persons, Defence Personnel, Women and Children, more than 5 year old cases etc., It is to be noted that the revision petitioner without approaching the trial Court, has directly come forward with the present Revision Petition before this Court, seeking early disposal. In the absence of total pendency particulars and the work burden of that particular Court, this Court is not inclined to give any direction to dispose of the case within a specified period of time. Generally, the trial Court is required to give priority to the cases, as per the circulars of this Court.

¶32

As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner, the revision petitioner is a senior citizen. In view of the above, the revision petitioner is at liberty to approach the trial Court and if

With the above observation and direction, the Civil Revision
