This Writ Petition has been filed seeking early disposal of the petitioner's appeal dated 14.07.2025, pending on the file of the 1st respondent. Aggrieved by the issuance of patta dated 19.12.2024 in favour of the 4th respondent (Patta No.10156), the petitioner had preferred the aforesaid appeal dated 14.07.2025, before the 1st respondent.

2.Mr.C.Jayaprakash, learned Government Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3.

3.No prejudice would be caused to the respondents if the petitioner's appeal is directed to be disposed of by the 2nd respondent after hearing the objections of the 4th respondent and by adhering to the Principles of natural justice, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court. Since no adverse orders are passed as against the 4th respondent, notice to the 4th respondent in this Writ Petition is dispensed with by this Court.

4.For the foregoing reasons, this Writ Petition is disposed of by directing the 2nd respondent to pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law on the petitioner's appeal dated 14.07.2025, after hearing the objections of the 4th respondent and any other necessary party whom the 2nd respondent deem fit to enquire and by adhering to the Principles of natural justice, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
