By means of the instant petition, the petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of his Appeal No.32 of 2024 pending before the respondent No.18. Learned standing counsel submits that he has no objection in case an expedite order is passed. Learned Standing counsel has pointed out that the appeal is pending and is next listed on 18.02.2025. It has also been informed that since certain parties had expired during the pendency of the appeal and their substitution has been taken, however, an endeavour would be made to decide the same expeditiously. Considering the facts and circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that no gainful purpose will be served in keeping the aforesaid petition pending rather ends of justice can be served by directing the respondent No.18 to consider and finally decide the pending proceedings of Appeal No.32 of 2024 as expeditiously as possible, affording full opportunity of hearing to the parties, but without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. It is made clear that the Court has not examined the case of either of the parties on merits and the authority concerned shall be free to decide the matter strictly in accordance with law. With the aforesaid, the petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 31.1.2025 Harshita Digitally signed by :- HARSHITA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
