bearing RA No.50/2022 and RA No.54/2022 are pending before the learned Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (hereinafter "DRAT") since the year 2022 and that the petitioner being an aggrieved party, is not being heard by the learned DRAT which is grossly affecting his legal rights. 3.

After some length of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he may be permitted to file an application for early hearing before the learned DRAT and the learned DRAT may be directed to adjudicate the same and pass an appropriate order for disposal of the said appeals pending before it expeditiously in a time-bound manner. 4.

Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts and no objection of the learned counsel for the respondent No.2, the instant petition along with pending application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to move an application seeking early hearing of the appeals i.e., RA No.50/2022 and RA No.54/2022, pending before the learned DRAT within a week. It is further directed that the learned DRAT, after considering the grounds mentioned in the said application, shall pass an appropriate order for disposal of the said appeals pending before it in an expeditious manner, in accordance with law.
