IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 1812 of 2010. Begraj Singh S/O Sri Amar Singh. … Petitioners. Vs. State of Uttarakhand and others. …Respondents. Mr. Khalil Ahmed, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioners. Mr. N.P.Sah, Standing Counsel, learned counsel for the respondent no. 1 to 5. Date October 26, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Interim Relief Application No. 8961 of 2010) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents not to interfere and permit in grazing of sheep of the petitioners in the forest area. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners had already moved an application/representation to the respondent no.2 for redressal of their grievance on 4-6-2010 (Annexure No. 2 to the petition), which is still pending, therefore, the ends of justice would be served if a direction is issued to the respondent no. 2 to decide the application/representation of the petitioners within a time bound period. Prayer is innocuous. Accordingly, the respondent no. 2-Divisional Forest Officer, Ramnagar (Nainital) is directed to decide the application/representation of the petitioners (Annexure No.2 to the petition) expeditiously, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of presentation of a certified copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
