IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 2601 of 2010. Decided on: 26th May, 2010. Ranvir. ….. Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. and ors. …… Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. B.S. Chauhan, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. AG, for respondents No.1,2 & 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayer: “(i) The respondent No.2 may be ordered to be directed to dispose of the appeal No.3 of 08 on the give date i.e. 13.7.2010 or on any other date as may be ordered by this Hon’ble Court in the facts and circumstances of the case as detailed above.” It is seen that the appeal is pending since around two years before the Deputy Commissioner, Shimla. With the pace of the appeal, as above, it is likely that the appeal would itself become infructuous by the end of this 2 year. We find that more than twenty postings have already been made for this appeal. Therefore, there will be a direction to the second respondent, Deputy Commissioner, Shimla to dispose of appeal No.3 of 2008 either on 31.7.2010 itself or in any case on or before 31st July, 2010. The petitioner will immediately produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the Deputy Commissioner, Shimla. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 26th May, 2010 ( Justice Surinder Singh), (tr) Judge.
