In case such an appeal is filed by the petitioners within one month, the Appellate Authority shall consider the same and all documents 3 enclosed therewith, including orders of this Court in identical matters, if produced, and other relevant records and make all endeavours to dispose of the same on merits in reference to the original records after hearing the parties concerned by a speaking order, preferably within the time prescribed under the Rules for the purpose, by condoning the delay, if any. No order of any authority, passed earlier in terms of Rule 18, as it stood prior to amendment, or any order passed by any authority of the Government at the District level shall be treated as impediment in consideration of the matter judiciously on merits in terms of this order. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion with regard to the merits of the claim of the petitioners. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
