It is seen that the workload of the Court is rather heavy. It may not be fair on my part to direct the Court below to give preference for disposal of the petition mentioned suit.

4.But then the learned counsel for the petitioners states that the first petitioner is a senior citizen and he is also a heart patient. 5.Taking into account the over all facts and circumstances of the case, I request the Court below to dispose of O.S.No.157 of 2021 on merits and in accordance with law within a period of twelve months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6.This Civil Revision Petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs.
