Counsel for the petitioners has referred to the 'order sheet' of the case, a copy whereof has been appended to the writ petition, to point out that although several dates have been fixed, but for some reason or the other, the matter is being adjourned and the delay in disposal of the case is causing undue hardship to the petitioners. Attention is also drawn to para 458 of the U.P.

Accordingly, the petitioners, by way of the present petition have sought for proceedings to be concluded expeditiously.

And 4 Others .....Respondent(s) proceedings are expedited. Having regard to the aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of with an observation that the court/authority concerned would make an endeavor to decide the aforesaid case, in accordance with law, expeditiously preferably within a period of one year granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties and keeping in view the mandate providing a period for one year for a suit to be decided, as noted above, provided there is no other legal impediment.
