Amended memo of parties be filed by the petitioner in the course of the day.

7.

Having regard to the submissions of learned counsel for GNCTD above and the fact that the petitioner's application for mutation has, according to him, remained unanswered for the last three years, I am of the view that the appropriate course is that the revenue authorities and DDA may coordinate with each other and take an appropriate decision on the petitioner's application for mutation within a given time frame. 8.

The appropriate authorities are directed to pass necessary orders within a period of eight weeks from today.

In the event the petitioner's request is not considered favourably, a reasoned order will be issued to him within the same period. 10.

The writ petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of with these directions.
