1/4

2. Since the revision petition is filed for early disposal of the case, the issuance of notice to the private respondents is not necessary.

3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner and also perused the records.

4. The respondent /wife has filed a petition in H.M.O.P.No.72 of 2022 on the file of the Family Court, Trichy, against the petitioner seeking divorce on the ground of cruelty and the same is pending. 5.The learned counsel for the revision petitioner would submit that the petitioner is ready for reunion, but the respondent /wife deliberately has claimed divorce without any reason and is delaying the trial and that therefore, the trial of the case has to be expedited. 6.Admittedly, the HMOP was filed in the year 2022. The High Court has already issued circulars to the District Judiciary, directing the Courts to give priority for the cases relating to senior citizens, HIV affected persons, defence personnel, women and children etc., It is to be noted that 2/4

the revision petitioner without approaching the trial Court, has directly come forward with the present Revision Petition before this Court, seeking early disposal. 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 a specified period of time. Generally, the trial Court is required to give priority to the cases, as per the circulars of this Court.

7. In view of the above, the revision petitioner is at liberty to approach the trial Court and if such requisition is made, the trial Court is required to consider the same, in the light of the circulars issued by this Court for early disposal.

8. With the above observation and direction, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. No costs.
