Taking note of para 458(2) of U.P. Revenue Court Manual, as per which, an appeal or revision should preferably be decided within a period of six months, however, in the instant case, the appeal is pending since July, 2023 and on account of pendency of the same, the petitioner, as stated, is suffering great hardship and mental agony, 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 respondent No. 3/Chief Revenue Officer, District Gonda to consider and decide the Appeal/Case No. 1417/2023, Computerized Case No. D202308300001417 (Ram Prakash Singh Vs.

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. Order Date :- 30.5.2025 Arun/- Digitally signed by :- ARUN KUMAR GANGWAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
