The present writ petition has been filed beseeching the expeditious disposal of case filed by the petitioner for demarcation under Section 24 of the UP Revenue Code, 2006 pending in the court of Upziladhikari (respondent No. 1). It is submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has filed an application dated 25.10.2019 for demarcation of land in question, which is pending protracted and no fruitful steps are being taken by the concerned court for its early disposal despite the fact that statutory period to decide the case, as enshrined under Section 24 (3) of the UP Revenue Code, 2006, has already elapsed. Learned Standing Counsel has no objection in case a direction is issued for early disposal of the case. In this conspectus, as above, no useful purpose would be served to keep this matter pending, therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to finally dispose of the present writ petition, without making any observation on the merits of the case as mentioned in the present writ petition, with a direction to Upziladhikari (respondent No. 1), before whom the aforementioned matter is pending disposal, to decide the same expeditiously, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. It is expected that it should be decided by a reasoned and speaking order, in accordance with law, after affording opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
