W.P (C) No. 282 of 2011

Dated this the 5th January, 2011
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner submits that against the patta that was
issued in favour of the 1st respondent, in respect of
properties on which he also had title, he filed an appeal
which was disposed of by Ext.P1 order of the 3rd
respondent. By this order, the matter was remitted to
the second respondent for fresh disposal.
2. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite
having issued Ext.P2 notice, the 2nd respondent has not
finalised the proceedings even as on date. In these
circumstances, the writ petition has been filed praying for
a direction to the 2nd respondent to dispose of the
proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 with notice to the parties
and as expeditiously as possible.
3. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for
the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel
appearing for respondents 2 and 3.
4. In the nature of the order that I propose to
pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to the 1st

respondent .
5. Admittedly, proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 are
pending before the 2nd respondent and the 2nd
respondent is bound to finalise the same. Therefore, I
direct the 2nd respondent to pass final orders in the
proceedings pursuant to Ext.P2 with notice to the petitioner
and 1st respondent. This shall be done, at any rate, within
eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along
with a copy of the writ petition.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
