While doing so, he has restored the Jamabandi by issuance of correction slip in that regard but having done so, he is not hearing the matter or deciding the matter which he was required to do by virtue of order dated 13.03.2007 passed in CWJC No 7056 of 2006 and analogous case being CWJC No 5816 of 2006. He submits that the matter being more than five years old, it should be 2 made imperative upon the Circle Officer, Danapur to finally conclude the matter at an early date because the petitioners are suffering because of lack of decision in the matter. Having considered the matter, the prayer is reasonable. It cannot prejudice any person who is interested in justice. I, therefore, direct the Circle Officer, Danapur to conclude the proceedings, as directed earlier in the writ petitions disposed of by order dated 13.03.2007 within a period of three months from today positively after notice to all parties concerned. If any party does not cooperate then after recording the factum of non- cooperation, the learned Circle Officer would proceed to dispose of the matter in accordance with law. With this observation, this contempt application stands disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
