C. J.’s Court (M/B) Civil Writ Petition No. 717 / of 2001 Sri B.D.Pande . . . . . . . . Petitioner Versus State of Uttaranchal and ors. . . Respondents . . . . . . . Hon. A. A. Desai, C.J. Hon. M.C. Jain, J. Sri Nirupendra Pande, learned counsel for the petitioner, made a limited grievance that though the relevant Notification regarding consolidation was issued in 1993, the Government has not acted upon and has not initiated the process. The petitioner is, therefore, aggrieved. Heard Sri Sudhanshu Dhulia, learned C.S.C. Having regard to the nature of grievance and date of Notification, it is apparent that the authorities have neglected statutory duty for sufficiently long time. We, therefore, direct the authorities concerned to initiate process within three months from to-day and they shall complete the entire process of consolidation preferably within a period of two years. With this direction, the petition is disposed of. Dt.23.8.2001 (P.C. Verma, J.) A
