The court found that the petitioner, a senior citizen, faced undue delays since filing the suits in 2022 with no trial progress. The court directed the trial judge to commence and conclude the trials within four months of receiving the order copy. The petitions were ultimately disposed of with an order to expedite the trial proceedings.
