Court No. - 40 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 42148 of 2023 Petitioner :- Babbu Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ram Kumar Yadav Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J. Hon'ble Prashant Kumar,J.

¶1Heard Shri Ram Kumar Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel appearing for the State-respondents.

¶2By means of the present writ petition, petitioner has prayed for a direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no. 2 - District Magistrate, Bareilly to decide the claim of the petitioner dated 08.11.2023, pending before the respondent no.2 within stipulated period.

¶3Learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his prayer that the grievance of the petitioner may be redressed as per law.

¶4Learned Standing Counsel very fairly submits that, in case, any such representation/application is pending, the same would be decided by the concerned authority.

¶5Considering the facts and circumstances, we are not inclined to keep the matter pending consideration.

¶6Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the issue and with the consent of counsel for the parties, the writ petition stands disposed of asking the District Magistrate concerned to look into, examine and redress the grievance of the petitioner strictly in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably, within six weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, but certainly after giving opportunity to all the stakeholders in the matter. Suffice to indicate that the Court has not adverted into the merits of the case. Order Date :- 14.12.2023 Rama Kant High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
