"(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent no.1 to decide the Revision No.31 of 2024, Computerized Case No. C202402000000031 pending before him within a stipulated period as directed by this Court."
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that aforesaid Revision bearing Case No.31 of 2024, Computerized Case No. C202402000000031 is pending for disposal and no final order has been passed in the said case. 4. Sub Rule 4 of Rule 183 of U.P. Revenue Code Rules, 2016 provides as under:
"The appellate or the revisional Court shall, endeavour to finally decide the appeal or revision, as the case may be, within a period of six months from the date of filing the appeal or revision and if the appeal or revision is not decided within the aforesaid period, the reason for the same shall be recorded."
5. There is a clear legislative mandate that if proceedings are not concluded within stipulated period of time as provided under the aforesaid provision, reasons for the same shall be recorded. 6. Learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel submits that he has no objection to the extent that a direction is issued by this Court for expeditious disposal of the case within stipulated period as to be fixed by this Court. 7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served in keeping this writ petition pending. 8.
Accordingly, without adverting on merits of the case and with the consent of the learned counsels present before the Court, this Court deems it appropriate to finally dispose of the present writ petition with a direction to Commissioner, Prayagraj Division, Prayagraj before whom the aforementioned matter is pending for disposal, to decide the Revision No.31 of 2024, Computerized Case No. C202402000000031, strictly in accordance with law, by a reasoned order on merit after affording opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, expeditiously and preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, unless there is any legal impediment. It is further directed that no unnecessary adjournments be granted to either of the parties and the adjournment, if prayed for, it may be granted only in exceptional circumstances. 9. With the aforesaid direction, the present writ petition is
disposed of.
