That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondents to remove the illegal construction raised by the Respondent No.8 on the land of the petitioner and restore the status quo ante in favour of the petitioner.” 2. Learned counsel for petitioners would submit that petitioners have filed an application U/s. 250 of the C.G. Land Revenue Code,1959 (In short ‘Code, 1959’), however, when it was not concluded and decided within reasonable time, this writ petition was filed seeking direction to the 3 concerned authorities to consider and decide the application U/s. 250 of the Code,1959 at the earliest. He submits that considering the nature of dispute and relief sought for, this Court vide order dated 02.03.2021 has granted interim relief restraining the respondent No.7 from raising construction over the land. 3. Learned State counsel would submit that pursuant to the order dated 02.03.2021, demarcation was done by concerned authorities and report was submitted on 19.08.2021. She also submits that she has verified about the filing of an application U/s. 250 of Code,1959 as stated by learned counsel for petitioners, however, no record of such proceeding is available in the office of Tahsildar. She also submits that the relief claimed by petitioners are for decision on the application U/s. 250 of the Code, 1959 only and therefore, in the facts of the case, petitioners may file fresh application U/s. 250 of the Code,1959 before the concerned authority and in the event such application is filed, it will be decided in accordance with law expeditiously. 4. Learned counsel for respondent No.7 submits that he is having no objection if petitioners submit fresh application before the concerned authority and direction is issued to the authorities to consider and decide the application U/s. 250 of the Code, 1959 to be submitted by petitioners expeditiously in accordance with law. 5. I have heard learned counsel for parties. 6. Relief is claimed by petitioners of expeditious disposal of the application stated to be filed U/s. 250 of the Code, 1959. As no records of revenue case on application U/s. 250 of the Code of 1959 as stated to be filed, is available in the office of Tahsildar I find it appropriate to 4 dispose of this writ petition reserving liberty with petitioners to file fresh application U/s. 250 of the Code, 1959 before the concerned authority, if they so desire. In the event such an application is filed, concerned authority shall consider and decide the same expeditiously in accordance with law following due process of law. The proceedings under Section 250 of the Code, 1959 shall be completed by the concerned authority within a period of 8 months from the date of filing of application subject to the cooperation of the parties. 7. As this Court has granted interim protection vide order dated 02.03.2021, restraining respondent No.7 of raising further construction, the same shall remain in force for a period of 9 months from today or till disposal of the proceedings which ever is earlier. 8. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge Balram
