O R D E R

(The case has been heard through video conference) The writ petition has been filed seeking a direction directing the 1st respondent to dispose the petitioner's appeal

dated 29.01.2021 within a stipulated time as fixed by this Court.

2. In view of the order is going to be passed in the present Writ Petition, which will not prejudice the interest of the 6th respondent, notice to the 6th respondent is dispensed with.

3. The grievance of the petitioner is that against the order of granting patta in favour of 6th respondent, the petitioner said to have filed an appeal before the 1st respondent Revenue Divisional Officer on 29.01.2021. After admitting appeal, so far, the appeal was not disposed of and no order has been passed on it. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner.

4. Considering the limited prayer sought in the Writ Petition, without going into the merits of case, the 1st respondent Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to consider the petitioner's appeal and pass suitable orders on merits in accordance with law after hearing the petitioner as well as 6th respondent within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs.
