Valliyammai 3.M.Deivanai 4.M.Gandhimathi 5.M.Muthaiah 6.M.Ramanathan 7.M.Manickam : Respondents / defendants PRAYER:- Civil Revision Petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to direct the District and Sessions Judge, Sivagangai, to expeditiously hear the suit in O.S.No.27 of 2014 on the file of the District and Sessions Judge, Sivagangai. For petitioner : Mr. K. Chengiz Khan

ORDER

This revision has been filed seeking a direction to expedite the trial in O.S.No.27 of 2014, on the file of the District and Sessions Judge, Sivagangai.

2. The revision petitioner, who is the plaintiff in O.S.No.27 of 2014, has filed the suit for partition and separate possession in respect of 1/6th share in the suit schedule property.

3. The main contention of the revision petitioner is that he is a Senior Citizen and that therefore, this case has to be expedited. The High Court has already issued Circulars to the District Judiciary directing the Courts to give priority for the cases relating to the Senior Citizens, HIV affected persons, Defence personnel, women and children etc., The revision petitioner without approaching the trial Court has directly approached this Court. 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 the specified period of time.

4. However, the trial Court is required to give priority to the cases, as per the Circulars of the High Court. The learned Judge is directed to consider the request of the revision petitioner, on the ground of Senior Citizenship, for early trial and dispose of the suit in accordance with law.
