Constitutional Courts may issue directions for the time-bound disposal of cases only in exceptional circumstances. The issue of prioritising the disposal of cases should be best left to the decision of the concerned Courts where the cases are pending; and…." 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has not shown any exceptional circumstances to issue direction for time bound disposal of the present case at this stage.
