Court No. - 37
Case :- MATTERS UNDER ARTICLE 227 No. - 8109 of 2018 Petitioner :- Jawahir Lal Respondent :- Bahramji (Deceased) And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Sanjay Kumar
Hon'ble Siddhartha Varma,J.
The prayer of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the release application under Section 21 of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, be decided within the time stipulated by the Statute.
Learned counsel for the petitioner relies upon a judgment of this Court in Manju Devi (Smt.) vs. Additional District Judge VIII, Allahabad & Ors., reported in 2007 (4) AWC 3403 wherein it has been held that when a statutory period had been provided within which the Prescribed Authority had to dispose of the Release Application then the same should be decided within that period.
Having considered the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also having considered the fact that the release application numbered as PA No.10/2016 (Jawahir Lal vs. Bahramji) was pending since 2016, I am of the view that the release application may be decided within a period of four months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, if there is no other legal impediment. No unnecessary adjournments shall be granted to either side.
The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
Order Date :- 30.10.2018 Ashish Pd.
