WPMS No. 1454 of 2009 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Shri Ramji Srivastava, Advocate present for the petitioner. Heard. By means of this petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the District Judge, Dehradun, to expedite and conclude the proceedings of Rent Control Appeal No. 122 of 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is a widowed lady and her son has also died. The prayer for expeditious disposal of the appeal, before the lower appellate court in which the present petitioner is respondent (landlord), is innocuous. Therefore, the writ petition is summarily disposed of with the direction to the lower appellate court (District Judge, Dehradun), to decide the Rent Control Appeal No. 122 of 2008, as expeditiously as possible, keeping in mind the spirit of Sub- Clause (7) of Rule 7 of U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Rules, 1972. (Stay application No. 7536 of 2009, stands disposed of). (P. C. P., J.) Dt. 01.09.2009 S
