petitioner that despite moving the application invoking Para 460 of the U.P. Revenue Code Manual, the respondents are not disposing of the said application as directed by this Court. Sri Ganesh Pandey, who has appeared in opposition to to the present Writ (PIL) submits that the orders dated 23.12.2023 and 26.02.2024 passed under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 have been assailed in a statutory Appeal No. D202516670001199 which is admittedly pending. He further submits that since the Appeal itself is pending, the orders under Appeal cannot be executed.
I find substance in the submissions advanced by Sri Ganesh Pandey. Since the order sought to be implemented are under challenge in an Appeal, it is for the Appellate Authority to look into the merits of the Appeal and pass orders accordingly. If the present petitioner is aggrieved by the pendency of the Appeal or non-disposal of the same, he may invoke appropriate proceedings for expediting the proceedings of the Appeal. With the aforesaid observations, no orders are required to be passed in the instant Writ (PIL) and in the opinion of the Court, no useful purpose shall be served to keep the same pending Consigned to record.
