L.N.D/C.R/47/2024 DATED 24.09.2024 AT ANNEXURE-C BY ALLOWING THE WRIT PETITION. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER 1. Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for the respondent Nos.1 to 4. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:19672 WP No. 14838 of 2025 2. In this petition, petitioner is assailing the order dated 24.09.2024 (Annexure-C) in case No. L.N.D/C.R./47/2024 passed by respondent No.2 remanding the matter to respondent No.3 to re-consider the appeal filed therein, on merits. 3. Having taken note of the submissions made by learned counsel appearing for the parties as well as the finding recorded by respondent No.3 in case No. LND.RUO.(A).01/2022 at Annexure-B, dated 14.06.2024, it would indicate that private respondents herein are not properly represented therein, despite the notice taken in newspaper publication. However, ends of justice would be met if both side parties are heard in the matter on merits by the competent authority and appropriate order passed in accordance with law. 4. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit to accept the writ petition upon considering that respondent No.2 has remitted the matter to respondent No.3 for reconsideration. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:19672 WP No. 14838 of 2025 5. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the respondent No.3 is directed to expedite hearing and issue notice to all parties concerned and thereafter dispose of the matter at the earliest, within six months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
