The father of the respondent no. 5 namely Dayalu Gond was filed appeal before learned Upper Commissioner Raipur against the order of the Collector. In this matter mother of the petitioner namely Tikemani has a single girl child, who is present petitioner. After the death of the Tikemani respondent no. 5 applied application for Fauti Namantaran of the Tikemani land. But father of the respondent no. 5 and respondent no. 5 & other legal higher of the late Dayalu Gond are not entitled for any property because they are not legal higher of the late Tikemani. After passing of 7 years, appeal is pending before the Upper Commissioner. So the petitioner is seeking limited prayer from this Court for earlier disposal of the case no. 372B/21/2015-16. 3.
