The grievance raised in the present writ petition is with regard to order dated 5.5.2016 passed by Settlement Officer of Consolidation as well as order dated 20.11.2019 passed by Deputy Director of Consolidation. An appeal was filed by private respondents which was allowed by Settlement Officer of Consolidation and the matter was remanded back to Consolidation Officer to decide the matter afresh after taking into account the evidence adduced by the parties. Aggrieved by the said order the petitioner had filed a revision which was rejected by means of order dated 20.12.2019 and the revisional court did not find any infirmity in the order of Settlement of Officer and remanded the matter back to be adjudicated by the Consolidation Officer. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that in the meanwhile the paper book of the trial court had been misplaced and in this regard the Settlement Office of Consolidation had directed the said file to be re- constituted and the matter to be decided afresh. It is stated that despite expiry of more than nine years the remand proceedings have not commenced before the Consolidation Officer and, in fact, he wants to expedite the proceedings before the Consolidation Officer. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Indrajeet, Amit Kumar Srivastava Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
