Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The learned Standing Counsel appears for the respondent nos.1 and 2.
This petition has been filed with the following prayer:-
"I. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the Respondents to decide the Case No.315 of 2016, Computer Case No.T202014290401074, Reen Sonkar vs. Kamlesh Kumar, within stipulated period as fixed by this Hon'ble Court."
The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that a mutation case is pending since the year 2016 before the respondent no. 2 which is not being decided. Learned counsel has referred to the order-sheet that has been enclosed as Annexure No. 3 to the writ petition to submit that repeated dates have been fixed in the matter without any development. Learned counsel states that under the provisions of Rule 34 of the U.P. Revenue Code Rules, 2016, the authority is enjoined to decide the undisputed cases of mutation within a period of 45 days from the date of filing of the case and disputed mutation cases within 90 days and if the proceedings are not concluded within such period then the reasons for the same are required to be recorded.
Learned Standing Counsel states that the authority concerned will take a decision expeditiously in the matter.
Under the circumstances, this petition is disposed of directing the respondent no. 2, Tehsildar (Judicial) Saidpur, District Ghazipur, or the authority competent, to decide the aforesaid case expeditiously and preferably within a period of six months from the date of filing of a copy of this order before him after providing opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, in accordance with law.
