(Defendants) … Respondents Sri Jitendra Chaudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri Nand Prasad, Learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondent No. 1 & 2. Dated March 09, 2006. PC: (Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J.) Heard learned counsel. The petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition for issue of a direction to the respondent no.1 to decide Revenue Appeal No. 9/10 of 2004-05 Rafeeq and others Vs. Karan Singh and others pending before him expeditiously within a time bound period. 2 The record of the case discloses that the respondent nos. 3 to 6 filed the aforesaid Revenue Appeal under Section 219 of the Land Revenue Act 1901 before the respondent no. 1 against the order dated 23.9.2004, passed by the Assistant Collector Ist Class Kashipur and on 3.11.2004, the respondent no.1 after hearing the counsel for the appellant-respondent nos. 3 to 6 granted ex parte stay order in their favour. It is alleged that after obtaining stay order, the respondent nos. 3 to 6 are adopting delay tactics to prolong the litigating by taking frequent adjournments in the case, which is likely to cause injury and loss to the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the respondent no.1 to decide the Revenue Appeal No. 9/10 of 2004-05, Rafeeq and others Vs. Karan Singh and others, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of finally. (B.S. Verma, J.) RCP
