In view of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, this Court need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh1”, wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do not serve to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the Appeal dated 26.11.2024, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. Accordingly, the present Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the respondent authorities, more particularly, 7th respondent herein to consider and dispose of the Appeal dated 26.11.2024 preferred by the petitioners and to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, after providing opportunity of hearing to all the parties concerned, within a period of four (04) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
