Respondents ----------- 2. 31/08/2010 By filing supplementary affidavit, petitioner has placed on record an order passed by the appellate authority in Case No.18 of 2009-10 by which appeal has been rejected precisely on the ground that his case was earlier considered by the Block Development Officer and orders were passed on 2.2.2008 on which date the Block Development Officer was exercising the powers under the unamended Rule 18 of 2006 Rules. In the facts and circumstances of this case, this Court feels it appropriate that the appellate authority constituted under the 2 amended Rule 18 of 2006 Rules should consider the matter of the petitioner afresh on merits without going into the question of limitation and should dispose of the same within time frame fixed under the Rules for disposal of such appeals with reference to the original records. This Court directs accordingly. The writ application is disposed of. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
