¶21

The Petitioner has pressed for the relief as prayed for in prayer clause (b), that there is a delay on the part of Respondent no.11 in deciding the Appeal dated 7^th January 2023 filed before them in the year 2023. The appeal is pending disposal for over a period of two years. The non-disposal of the appeal filed by the Petitioner is causing grave prejudice to the Petitioner and the same is required to be decided expeditiously in accordance with law.

¶22

In our opinion, considering the limited relief that the Petitioner seeks in the Petition and although there being no written opposition/reply of the Respondents, considering the nature of the orders we propose to pass, no prejudice must be caused to the Respondents. The followinng order would serve the ends of justice :-

¶23
