Sr. Citizen Cases are taken on priority.
Your own lawyer must have updated you.

The High Court may not refuse to issue directions for speedy trial. However, there is no guarantee that trial would take place speedily.

Mr.p.venu , if high court direct to complete case in 5 years , lower court can it 20 years ?
if high court gives 5years , lower court as for another 2 years.total 7years.But the current case status , the case will run 20 years or more.Going to high court for speedy trial would be anyway advantageous .is not it ?
Please advice

There are instances when the Judges have set examples while settling the cases of Sr. Citizens and facing protracted litigation.
Previous Chief Justice of supreme Court of India Mr. Jagdish Singh Khehar had also set many examples.
You may explore the avenues that are available.
