CHANDRA BALI Vs. ADDL COMMISSIONER VARANASI DIVISION VARANASI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the petitioner.

(2.) PETITIONER has invoked the writ jurisdiction of this Court for seeking a direction upon respondent No. 1 Additional Commissioner, Varanasi Division, Varanasi to decide appeal No. 35 of 2004 (Chandra Bali and others v. Raja Ram and others) filed under section 331 of the U.P. Z.A. and LR Act within a stipulated period of time with further prayer that respondents No. 2 to 4 be restrained from interfering in his peaceful possession over gata No. 35 situate at Mauja Pura Gambhir, Tehsil-Badlapur, District Jaunpur till the decision of the appeal.

(3.) THE Court has experienced that every day about 5 to 10 writ petitions are coming on the land revenue side and under the U.P. Z.A. and LR Act with similar prayer to get the case/suit, appeal or revision or applications pending therein be decided within a time bound period. It has also been noticed that in almost all such cases apart from delay being caused by the contesting private parties, the delay in disposal appears to be on account of the fact that either the officer is not posted or available or is busy in some administrative work; and for the reason that adjournment prayed for has been granted casually.
