However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Executing Court is requested to consider the case of the petitioner in terms of the application moved and in case a request is made for preponing the case for hearing, the same be considered sympathetically having regard to the lodgment of the petitioner in civil imprisonment and his advance age of 70 years. 4. Viewed thus, the present petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the executing court with an application for early hearing of the application moved by him in terms of the Section 47 of CPC, for consideration at an early date in this month only. In the event, the application for early hearing is moved and allowed, the application under Section 47 moved by the petitioner shall be disposed of within a period of seven days thereafter. 5.
