DATED : 11th February, 2026 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner seeks direction of this Court to the respondent No.2 to decide the application dated 22/07/2020 for grant of renewal of lease of the petitioner in respect of his E-Class land bearing Gat No.123 admeasuring 0.040 HR situated at Mouza Adoli, Tahsil and District Washim which is at record page 55 (Annexure-P-5). 2.

It is submitted that such direction was issued by this Court on earlier occasion vide judgment dated 11/08/2023 in Writ Petition No.5127/2023 wherein this Court has directed the respondent No.1 to take a decision in that regard within a period of three months from the date of receipt of order dated 11/08/2023 which is at record page 58 (Annexure-P-6).
