1. Prayer in the present petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is for disposal of the application filed under Order VII Rule 11 CPC expeditiously and in a time-bound manner.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the application under Order VII Rule 11 CPC was filed on 15.03.2024 and since then the same is pending and hence the Trial Court concerned may be directed to decide the same expeditiously.
3. Heard.

5. Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case titled as High Court Bar Association, Allahabad Vs. State of U.P. & Ors. [2024 (2) RCR (Civil) AMAN JAIN 2024.05.06 20:59 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this judgment/order.
132 CR-2754-2024 (O&M) -2- 199] has held in para No.37(c) as under :
"37(c) Constitutional Courts, in the ordinary course, should refrain from fixing a time-bound schedule for the disposal of cases pending before any other Courts. Constitutional Courts may issue directions for the time- bound disposal of cases only in exceptional circumstances. The issue of prioritizing the disposal of cases should be best left to the decision of the concerned Courts where the cases are pending"
6. Admittedly, the application under Order VII Rule 11 CPC was filed on 15.03.2024. No exceptional circumstances are made out in the present case to direct the Trial Court concerned to decide the application expeditiously and, in a time bound manner.
7. In view thereof, the present revision petition is dismissed. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed off.
