The Block Development Officer/concerned authority is directed to transmit the entire records, including enquiry report referred to in the said order, to the Appellate Authority within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Upon receipt of the records, the Appellate Authority shall issue notice to the concerned parties including petitioner giving them opportunity to be heard, shall call for the records and shall pass appropriate orders in accordance with law positively within three months from the date of receipt of records from the office of the Block Development Officer/concerned authority.
