Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondent. This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to direct the respondents no. 2 to decide the Civil Revision No. 60/2023-"Ravindra Singh Vs. Rajendra Prasad and others" pending before him. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in an election petition a restoration application has been filed which has been rejected. The aforesaid order has been challenged by means of filing a revision, which is pending since 11.11.2022. Therefore, a direction may be issued to respondent no.2 to decide the same within stipulated period. The learned Standing Counsel has no objection to the submission made by the counsel for the petitioner. No useful purpose would be served by keeping this petition pending in view of the order, which the Court proposes to pass hereunder. Without entering into the controversy involved in the writ petition, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 2 to decide the aforesaid revision in accordance with law after giving opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, by means of a reasoned and speaking order, expeditiously preferably within a period of one month, from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment. It is made clear that this Court has not examined the merits of the claim of the petitioner and the authority concerned shall apply its own mind strictly in accordance with law.
