Per contra, learned State counsel would submit that the the petitioner has filed the application on 12/05/2026 and he has approached this Court on 04/06/2026 which shows that an attempt has been made to pressurize the authorities. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents. 4. Perusal of the document would show that the petitioner had submitted the application before the competent revenue authority on 12.05.2026 and approached the Court on 04.06.2026 without affording sufficient time to the authority to consider and decide the matter, which, according to the Court, appeared to be an attempt to pressurize the authorities. However, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is 3 / 3 directed that the concerned revenue authorities shall consider and decide the petitioner's application independently, strictly in accordance with law without being influenced by any observations made in this order. 5. With the aforesaid observation, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. SD/- SD/- (Narendra Kumar Vyas) JUDGE ashu
