It is stated that as per para 458(2) of U.P. Revenue Court Manual, an appeal or revision should preferably be decided within a period of six months. However, in the instant case, the revision is pending since August, 2024 and on account of pendency of the same, the petitioner is suffering great hardship. In these circumstances, indulgence of this Court is required in the matter. The prayer is to expedite the proceedings of pending case. Learned State counsel submits that he has no objection in case an expedite
order is passed. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no fruitful purpose will be served in keeping this petition pending. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the Additional Commissioner (Judicial), Ayodhya Division, Ayodhya to consider and decide the Appeal No.1916 of 2024 (Lalta Prasad Vs. Smt. Reeta Sharma and others) most expeditiously after affording full opportunity of hearing to the parties to the litigation and without granting unnecessary adjournment to either party preferably within a period of six months from the next date fixed in the case, if there is no other legal impediment in this regard. It is made clear that the Court has not examined the case of either party 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.
