It is submitted by the learned counsel on behalf of the petitioner that against the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner on 03.11.2021, Miscellaneous Appeal No. 08/2022-2023 has been preferred before the Commissioner, Kolhan at Chaibasa, but the matter is still pending as the LCR has not been sent to the Appellate Court. Under the circumstance, the Deputy Commissioner, Seraikella- Kharsawan is directed to forward the lower Court record (LCR) to the Commissioner, Kolhan at Chaibasa for reference in Miscellaneous Appeal No. 08/2022-2023 within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
