The prayer in this petition is to issue direction to learned District Judge to expedite the proceedings and disposal of that petition. Learned counsel states that in connection with treatment of the alleged mentally ill person, funds are to be raised by sale of his property which can be done only after the petition is disposed of. 2. Without understanding volume of work of the court concerned and the stage of the petition, I do not consider it proper or necessary to issue any such direction but I make it clear that it will be open to the petitioner to urge the urgency of the matter before learned District Judge and request for early disposal of the petition. If any such request is made learned District Judge will consider that request and pass appropriate orders. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
