The petitioner has moved an application seeking conversion of land from agricultural to non- agricultural purposes. A proceeding for this purpose is pending before Respondent No.1 and the petitioner seeks its quashing on the ground that there is presumption that if the application is not decided within the prescribed period of time, permission should be presumed. Smt. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader on instructions submits that the application was decided within the prescribed time and the application of the petitioner was rejected and the petitioner went in appeal before the appellate authority who has set aside the order of Respondent No.1 and remanded the matter back 2 and after remand the matter is again pending before Respondent No.1. In this view of the matter, we feel that the present writ petition can be disposed of by directing Respondent No.1 to dispose of the matter within a period of two months. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
