[ 1 ] S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4246/2003 (Devilal Chordia Vs. State of Raj. & Ors.) Date of order : : 27.04.2007 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.Tarun Joshi for Mr.J.P.Joshi, for the petitioner. Mr.S.N.Tiwari, PP for the State. Mr.A.K. Jain, for the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The main limb of the argument of counsel for the petitioner is that application filed by the petitioner for conversion of agricultural land to commercial and residential purposes is still pending before the respondents. They are not deciding the same, therefore, the respondents may very kindly be directed to decide the application submitted by the petitioner for allowing the conversion of agricultural land held by him for commercial and residential purposes. I see no reason to denied this prayer because the respondents are under obligation to decide the application filed by the petitioner in accordance with the law, therefore, in the [ 2 ] interest of justice, the respondents are directed to decide the petitioner's application dated 15.1.2000 (Annexure-6) which is said to be pending in the office of the respondents for the purpose of conversion of agricultural land held by him for commercial and residential purposes. The application of the petitioner shall be decided by the respondents within a period of three months from the receipt of certified copy of this order in accordance with the law. With these observations/directions this writ petition is disposed of. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS) J. NK
