Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. Notice on behalf of respondent No.2 has been accepted by Shri Raj Priya Srivastava, Advocate.

The petitioners have approached this Court with limited prayer that an appeal is pending before the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ambedkar Nagar bearing Misc. Appeal No.9/2021, under Section 3(2)(1) of the U.P. Municipal Corporation Act, 1959.

It is stated that the said appeal was preferred along with an application seeking condonation of delay on which notices were issued and the main contesting respondent has put in appearance through counsel yet the matter is not being taken up.

¶9

Learned counsel for the petitioners has shown the Court a certified copy of the Vakalatnama said to have been filed in the proceedings before the Court below on behalf of Masoom Ali, however, considering the extracts of the order-sheets which have been brought on record as Annexure No.2, it appears that the order-sheets only records the appearance of Nagar Panchayat and it does not indicate as to whether any of the private-respondent namely Masoom Ali and Mohammad Ahsan have been served or not.

¶10

It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioners are the respondents in the appeal which has been filed by Mohammad Ahsan and the Court is issuing notices for remaining respondents.

¶11

Having considered the aforesaid and from the perusal of the extracts of the order-sheets, it is not clear as to whether the private-respondents in the appeal namely Masood Ashraf, Aziz Afzal and Mohammad Azam (who are the petitioners before

¶12

this Court) have filed their Vakalatnama and have been contesting the proceedings.

¶13

In view of the aforesaid, this Court is not inclined to issue any direction, however, liberty is granted to the petitioners to move the Court concerned by making an application bringing the facts to the notice of the Court. In case if any such application is moved, the Court concerned shall take note of it and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
