Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government 2. Pleader for Revenue for the respondents.

In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader for 5. Revenue, this Court need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh^’’, wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do not serve to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the Appeal dated 27.05.2023, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent No.3 to dispose of the Appeal dated 27.05.2023 filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law, after providing opportunity of hearing to all the parties concerned, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a 6. copy of this order.
