YAMUNA PRASAD SAH Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD counsel for the petitioner.

(2.) THIS is a proceeding under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the interim order passed in a second appeal filed by the petitioner before the Commissioner. Normally, I should be passing this order after hearing the contesting respondents but, I find that there are 20 respondents in this proceeding and if this matter were to be admitted and the proceedings kept in abeyance, it will prejudice the respondents more than the order I now propose to pass. In that view, I propose to dispose of this proceeding without issuing notices to the respondents 5 to 20. Government counsel has appeared on behalf of respondents 1 to 4.

(3.) THE writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. The Registry will communicate a copy of this order to the Commissioner, Santhal Pargana Division, Dumka for compliance.
