From the order of the Collector, it appears that both petitioner and the respondents have not produced documents in support of their respective stand. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the matter is pending for four years and for one reason or the other, it has not been taken up. The petitioner who is the pre-emptor is directed to produce all documents and appear before the Court of the Collector as and when the date is fixed. Obviously the purchaser has to be heard in the matter before any final order is passed. The Collector should pass an order as soon as possible regarding this matter which is being agitated for the last 30 years. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observation.
