. . HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 38517 of 2026 Court No. - 4 HON'BLE KSHITIJ SHAILENDRA, J. 1. Although prayer has been made to issue a direction to the Sub- Divisional Magistrate, Tehsil Meja, District-Prayagraj to decide petitioner's application dated 26.05.2026, a perusal of record indicates that the said application is, in fact, a reminder moved on administrative side through registered post. 2. When asked, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the said reminder is in relation to application registered under Section 24 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 ('the Code') at Number T202502030811919, which is pending. 3. Learned Standing Counsel submits with reference to certain reports on record that the land being abadi, there is already an indication made to the effect that petitioner may avail remedy before the competent court. 4. Be that as it may, mere submission of report in pending proceedings cannot be equated with an order passed in proceedings under Section 24 of the Code and, therefore, the Sub Divisional Magistrate is under obligation to dispose of the application in accordance with law. 5. The petition is disposed of directing the Sub Divisional Magistrate Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Syed Shahnawaz Shah Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C. Jitendra Kumar Srivastava .....Petitioner(s) State of U.P. and 3 others .....Respondent(s) concerned to decide the Application No.T202502030811919 within three months from the date a copy of this order is produced by fixing short dates, preferably, on weekly/fortnightly basis.
