In the such proceedings, Ext.P6 order was passed by the 2nd respondent. Aggrieved by Ext.P6, the petitioner filed Ext.P7 revision petition before the 1st respondent. In this writ petition, what is sought for is a direction for an expeditious disposal of the said revision petition. 2. Ext.P7 revision petition is dated 30.11.2011. Therefore, as of now, this Court will not be justified in finding any culpable delay on the part of 1st respondent in WP(C) NO. 32986 OF 2011 ..2.. dealing with the said revision petition. Be that as it may, fact remains that Ext.P7 is a statutory revision, which has to be dealt with expeditiously. Therefore, I direct the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P7 revision with notice to the parties as expeditiously as possible on the production of copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition.
