IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 404 OF 2010 STATE OF GOA THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY AND ANR., ... Petitioners Versus SHRI. PEDRO D'COSTA (SINCE DEC.) THROUGH LR'S ... Respondent Mr. Shaikh Vahidullah, Additional Government Advocate for the petitioners. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 11th January, 2011 P.C: Heard Mr. Vahidulla, learned Additional Government Advocate for the petitioners. 2. In view of the order I propose to pass, I do not deem it necessary to issue notice to the respondent. 3. This petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenges the judgment and order dated 18/11/2009 passed by the Administrative Tribunal, Panaji in Land Revenue Appeal no.20/2006 by which the Tribunal has allowed the appeal preferred by the respondents against the judgment and order dated 2/1/2006 passed by the Additional Collector-I, South Goa, Margao, in Case no.LRC/14(3)/21/2004/AC-I. 4. By the impugned judgment and order the appeal has been allowed and the matter has been remanded to the Additional Collector-I, South Goa, Margao for giving an opportunity to the appellants to cross examine the witness and thereafter to pass an order in accordance with law. The parties were directed to appear before the Additional Collector-I, South Goa on 5/1/2010. 5. Having heard Mr. Vahildulla, learned Additional Government Advocate for the petitioners, I am not inclined to exercise supervisory jurisdiction against the impugned order. However, it is noticed that inspite of the remand, the matter has not been disposed of. Mr. Vahidullah states that a time bound programme for disposal be fixed for the Additional Collector-I in terms of the impugned order. 6. The Additional Collector-I, South Goa shall dispose of the matter expeditiously and in any case within a period of six months from today. The parties shall not seek unnecessary adjournments in the matter. 7. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. A. P. LAVANDE, J. ap/-
