The first respondent also moved a due process of lawsuit before the very same Court in O.S.No.51 of 2022. In order to drag on the proceedings, the respondents filed many I.A. Applications. Finally, I.A.No.7 of 2024 has been filed to appoint the Commissioner after two years from the date of suit and the same is also dismissed by its order, dated 05.06.2024, even though the main case is not at all contested by the respondents and they are dragging the proceedings since 2022. Hence, the present Civil Revision Petition is filed for early disposal.

revision is filed for seeking early disposal, no notice is necessary to the respondent.
