Holding
The petition is disposed with a direction to the Additional District Judge to decide the pending revision expeditiously.
Summary

The petition sought an expeditious disposal of that revision. The High Court noted that the revision case was still pending and that keeping the writ petition alive would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition and issued a direction to the Additional District Judge to decide the revision expeditiously as per the court's roster. No substantive merits of the underlying civil dispute were addressed.
