Revenue Code, 2006, the mutation proceedings, being summary in nature, ought to have been decided within 45 days if there is no dispute and if there is dispute, then the same should preferably be decided within 90 days.

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.

With the aforesaid, the petition is disposed of.
