The petitioner has filed this petition for a direction to the Board of Revenue C.G. to decide his revision pending before the Board of Revenue since 12.05.2009. 2. The petitioner has filed the petition seeking following reliefs:- “i) That, the Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the concerned Commissioner Court/respondent no. 2 to decide pending case No. R.N. 13/R/A-6/142/09 at the earliest, in the interest of justice. (ii) Any other relief, which the Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case may also be granted in favour of the petitioners.” 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has filed order sheets of the proceedings of Board of Revenue, according to which, lastly on 19.02.2025, the matter was listed, however, on the said date, due to unavailability of records, the matter could not be heard and the matter was directed to be fixed on 21.05.2025. 4. This Court after going through the order-sheets surprises that why this matter is pending since year 2009 and it is not being decided by the Board of Revenue as no plausible explanation etc. has been shown in the order-sheet. 5. From perusal of the order-sheet, it seems that the matter is pending since 2009 and it is not being decided for one or another reason, as such, the Board of revenue is directed to decide this matter on the next date of hearing while completing entire 3 formalities, which according to the petitioner is, to call for the records of the Tehsildar Gharghoda and the SDO Gharghoda which has not been received, as such, the matter is not being decided. 6. Accordingly, the Tehsildar Gharghoda as well as the SDO Gharghoda are also directed to send the record of the Revenue Case No.51/A-6/95-96 forthwith to the Board of Revenue before the next date of hearing so that the matter may be heard on that date. The Board of Revenue is directed to decide the matter by the next date of hearing i.e. 21.05.2025. 7. With this observation/direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
