Nirmal Kumar Jalan, S/o Prahlad Roy Jalan, resident of Mohalla Chowk Bazar, PS Kotwali, District Munger ......Respondents ----------- 02- 16/5/2011 Heard Mr. Kumar Udai Singh for the petitioner. None appears for respondent nos. 1 to 4 although they have placed on record their counter affidavit. We do not feel the necessity of issuing notice to respondent no.5 in view of the nature of the order that we are going to pass. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner has filed House Control Case no.27/92-93 which is pending before respondent no.4. The writ petition has been preferred for a direction to respondent no.4 to dispose of the case expeditiously. No exception can be taken for issuance of such a direction in a situation where the matter has remained pending for unreasonably long time. 3. In the result, this writ petition is allowed. 2 Respondent no.3 is directed to dispose of House Control Case no.27/92-93 most expeditiously. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
