Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grandfather of the petitioner namely Bhkalu was the owner of land bearing Khasra No 619 rakba 1 acre situated in P.H.N 21, village Dadarkhurd Distt. Korba (C.G.) and after the death of the Bhakalu, names of legal heirs were taken on record in the revenue records as successors. The subject land was once acquired by N.C.D.C/S.E.C.L on lease vide order dated 25.05.1957 from the legal heirs of Bhkalu which has been confirmed by the Staff Authority (Revenue) SECL Korba on 13.11.2023 as a reply to an application under Right to Information, Act. 2005. She submits that the petitioner has moved and application before the respondent no.3 for recording the name of legal heirs in the revenue record and he submits that the subject land was once acquired by N.C.D.C/S.E.C.L on lease after the completion of lease period i.e. 21.11.2007 the subject land was returned to actual land owners who are father and uncles of the petitioner and it was the direction of the authority to record their name in the revenue record. Meanwhile one Firatram impersonated himself as the only legal heir of Bhkalu, succeeded to get his name recorded in the revenue record as the owner of the subject land against which a revenue case was registered and the matter travelled to Revenue Board and the decision came in the favour of petitioner on 17.07.2015 whereby the mutation order dated 16.08.2007 has been cancelled. Relying upon the said order the petitioner has requested the respondent no.3 to record the name of actual legal heirs in the revenue record. Respondent no. 3 took the application of the petitioner into consideration and registered Revenue case no.202304050600002 and directed the patwari to submit a report pertaining to the case in hand and in the compliance of order of the respondent no.3 the 3 patwari submitted its report. The case of the petitioner which was registered on 29.03.2023 is still pending before the respondent no.3 and as per the limited knowledge of the petitioner, there is no effective hearing being conducted by the respondent no.3 and he is sitting on case deliberately delaying to pass the final order. Hence, she prays for disposal of this Writ Petition with a direction to the Respondent No.3 to expedite the proceedings before him related to the petitioner and pass final order within a stipulated time period. 4. No objection has been raised by the learned State counsel with regard to the prayer made by the petitioner. 5. Considering the limited prayer of the petitioner, particularly the fact that revenue proceedings bearing No. 202304050600002 commenced in the year 2023, which according to the petitioner has not yet been concluded, therefore, Respondent No.3 is directed to expedite and conclude the said proceedings within a period of 45 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 6. If the said proceedings have already been concluded then Respondent No.3 shall inform the same by sending a copy to Registrar (Judicial ) of this Court. 7. With the aforesaid direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Avinash
