4.
The case of the petitioner is that its appeal is pending before the learned Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (in short „DRAT‟), which is not being heard.
5.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that its appeal has been listed on number of occasions, but is not taken up given the number of specially directed matters, which are taken up by the learned DRAT in priority to the petitioner‟s appeal.
6.
In the aforesaid context, the learned counsel for the petitioner requests that a direction be issued to the learned DRAT to decide the petitioner‟s appeal in a time bound manner.
7.
It is not apposite to issue any direction, the import of which amounts to controlling the board of the learned DRAT. However, we request the learned DRAT to take up the petitioner‟s appeal as expeditiously as feasible. 8.
In view of the above, the present petition is dismissed. VIBHU BAKHRU, J.
