The case of the petitioner is that he is aged about 75 years and his wife is 70 years respectively are suffering with ailments and he filed Revision Petition No.9387/2003 before the respondent on 21-11-2003 but so far no action is taken. The sons of the petitioner are eking out their livelihood from a small cloth shop. If the above revision is not disposed of at the earliest, M/s.Jana Chaitanya Housing Private Limited, Hyderabad is making attempt to sell away the land to others on papers and creating problems on the land and there will be multifarious litigation, which he cannot withstand at this old. The request of the petitioner for speedy disposal of the above revision petition is not considered in spite of his old age. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the Govt.Pleader for Revenue. It is brought to the notice of this court that the Revision Petition filed by the petitioner is directed to be heard on 01-7-2005 for consideration and to that effect the petitioner was also sent notice intimating the said fact. In those circumstances, I see no reason to direct the respondent to dispose of the aforesaid revision. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs.
