Accordingly the present petition is disposed of with direction to respondent No.-1 to consider and decide the pending proceedings of Case No. 7231/2021, Computerized Case No. T202104230407231 (Smt. Sitapati Versus Ram Kripal), most expeditiously, after affording full opportunity of hearing to the parties, but without granting any unnecessary adjournment, preferably within a period of three months from the next date fixed before it, if there is no other legal impediment in this regard.
