It is submitted that the writ petitioner is a senior citizen, aged 67 years suffering from various ailments and therefore requests for a speedy disposal as a senior citizen. Certainly senior citizens are entitled to privilege and therefore if the matter is ripe for trial and there are no large number of earlier suits pending before the court, I direct the Munsiff's Court, Paravoor to dispose of O.S.No.290 of 2005 pending before it, as expeditiously as possible. I am not specifically fixing a time frame because discretion is given to the Munsiff and it shall not be taken as a permission for indefinite postponement of the case. Writ petition is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/-
