Hon'ble Shri Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra Order On Board 10/11/2016
1. This writ petition arises out of proceeding under Section 170-B of the CG Land Revenue Code, 1959 (for short 'the Code') wherein after final order by the SDO (Revenue) Surguja on 5.3.2016, the petitioner's appeal is pending consideration before the Collector, Surguja.

3. By order dated 12.5.2016, the threatened demolition has been stayed by this Court, however, the appeal itself is pending consideration before the Collector, Surguja.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, when the matter is still pending before the appellate authority i.e. the Collector, Surguja, ends of justice would be served if the concerned Collector is directed to decide pending appeal of the petitioner within a period of 6 months from the date of submission of certified copy of this order.
5. Ordered accordingly.
6. During the pendency of the appeal before the Collector, interim order passed by this Court on 12.5.2016 shall remain in operation.
7. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- Judge (Prashant Kumar Mishra) Barve
