Danapur, District Patna. ……….Petitioner Versus EXECUTIVE OFFICER,CANTONMENT BOARD, Danapur, P.O. Danapur Cantt., P.S. Danapur, District Patna. ………..Respondent ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Adv. For the respondent (Cantonment Board) : Mr. Dhiranjan Kumar Sinha, Adv. ----------- 3/ 02.05.2011 Heard the parties. 2. The petitioner has challenged the assessment proceeding for the year 1988 to 2004 with respect to Holding nos. 40 and 41, Mahal No.1, Ward No.1 of Danapur Cantonment Board. The grievance of the petitioner is that there has been hundred per cent enhancement of valuation of the holding, which according to the petitioner, is not sustainable in the eye of law and is apparently arbitrary. The petitioner has admitted that against the order of assessment Miscellaneous Appeal No.6 of 1988, Misc. Appeal No.56 of 1995 and Misc. Appeal No.57 of 1999 have been filed by him, which are pending before the learned Additional District 2 Judge 2nd, Danapur. According to the petitioner, those appeals are not being disposed of by the learned appellate court on the ground that relevant records of the assessment case are not being produced by the respondent. It is claimed that the petitioner applied for certain documents, but those documents are not being supplied to the petitioner delaying the disposal of the appeal and causing immense hardship to the petitioner. 3. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondent denying the allegations made in the writ petition and challenging the maintainability of the writ petition on the ground that appeals filed by the petitioner are pending before the appellate court. 4. Having heard the parties, this Court is of the considered opinion that since the appeals filed by the petitioner are pending before the learned Additional District Judge 2nd, Danapur for quite a long time, as such those appeals must be disposed of at an earliest possible time. 5. The respondent herein is directed to produce 3 all the relevant documents before the appellate court, so that appeals are disposed of expeditiously, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the petitioner desires to have a certified copy of certain public documents, which are in possession of respondent, then he shall be at liberty to apply for the same by filing proper chirkoot, whereafter respondent shall be obliged to provide the certified copy without unnecessary delay. 6. Non-compliance of aforesaid directions by respondent shall be viewed seriously and appropriate action may be taken, when such matters are brought to the notice of this Court. 7. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the present writ petition stands disposed of. Anjani/ ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
