IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 287 of 2011 Sh. Amrit Lal S/O Late Sh. Surat Singh, r/o village Malsi, Pargana Western Doon, Tehsil Sadar, Distt. Dehradun. … Petitioner. Versus Smt. Rajo Devi, alleged daughter of late Sh. Gudru alleged r/o village Malsi, Pargana Western Doon, Tehsil Sadar, Distt. Dehradun.. … Respondent. Mr. Karan Anand, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Date February 18, 2011. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the Assistant Collector, 1st Class, Dehradun/S.D.M. (Sadar) Dehradun to decide the restoration case filed in Revenue Appeal No. 32 of 2005-06, Rajo Devi Vs. Amrit Lal, expeditiously, within a time bound period, which is pending in that court. A perusal of the record shows that the Appeal No. 32 of 2005-06, Rajo Devi Vs. Amrit Lal was decided by the Assistant Collector, 1st Class/Sub Divisional Officer, Dehradun on 30-4- 2007, which appears to have been decided by an ex parte order. It appears that the petitioner Amrit Lal filed a restoration/recall application before the court concerned on 30-4-2007. A copy of the restoration application has been annexed as Annexure-5 to the writ petition. The petitioner has also annexed copy of the complete order sheet of the case as Annexure-6 to the writ petition to show that the restoration application is still pending for disposal. In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioners has urged that the ends of justice would be served if a direction is issued to the court concerned to decide the restoration application within a time bound period. Prayer is innocuous. 2 The Assistant Collector 1st Class/S.D.O. Dehradun is directed to decide the restoration application moved by the petitioner in Revenue Appeal No. 32 of 2005-06 Rajo Devi Vs. Amrit Lal, on merits, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma, J.) RCP
