The practical difficulties faced by the lower court and the petitioner's lack of diligence can justify delay in the disposal of a case despite directions for expeditious disposal.
Expeditious disposal of civil suits requires extraordinary urgency; routine requests cannot be prioritized without justifiable cause.
