Heard Sri Sandeep Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Harshit Pathak, learned counsel, who has put in appearance for the State-respondents. Considering the nature of order that this Court proposes to pass, notice upon private-respondents is being dispensed with. The limited prayer made by the petitioner in the present writ petition is that the proceedings of Case No. 356 of 2021 (Shiv Prashad Vs. Santosh Seth) instituted under Section 10 of the U.P. (Regulations of Building Operations) Act, 1958, which is stated to be pending since 2021 may be expedited and may be directed to be decided within the time framed fixed by this Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner has filed the order-sheet of the said case annexed as Annexure-4 to the writ petition. A perusal of the same reflects that on each date, although the petitioner was present, the respondent was not present and mainly dates are being fixed for one reason or the other and because of this fact, the case is not proceeding any further. Taking into all these facts, we dispose of the writ petition by requiring the prescribed authority inseisn with the aforesaid case to take up and conclude the same within a period of three months from the date of service of certified copy of this order, without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
