The learned Standing Counsel submits that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petition pending, it be disposed of by giving appropriate direction to the authority concerned.
The writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent no.2/Tehsildar, Tehsil Handia, Allahabad, to decide Case no. 653 of 2016, under Section 34 of U.P. Land Revenue Act (Smt. ankita Sahu vs. Sudhir Kumar Mishra), as expeditiously as possible, keeping in view the observations of this Court made in Writ-C No. 6635 of 2012 (Chandra Bali Vs. Addl.

Adjournments, if any, shall be for strong and compelling reasons, else would attract an exemplary cost of not less than Rs.250/- payable to the other side.
