Without commenting upon petitioner's right, if the petitioner's application has remained pending, considering that the petitioner belongs to BPL category, it would be interest of justice if the application of the petitioner for grant of lease is decided as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months by respondent No.2. The petition is accordingly finally disposed off. Sd/- Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Judge Deepti
