The matter has been heard through video conferencing.

This writ petition is under Article 226 of the Constitution of India whereby and whereunder the direction has been sought for upon the respondents to update their rent receipt of the land in question for the respective period against which they are ready to pay rent to the State.

¶14

Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the outset, has submitted that since the matter is of the year 2013 and he has no knowledge about the outcome of the issue pending before the authority and therefore, the writ petition may be disposed of, directing the competent authority to take a decision in accordance with law, if the decision has not already taken.

¶15

Mr. P. C Roy, learned S.C (L & C) has submitted that the writ petition may be disposed of, directing the concerned authority to take decision in accordance with law, if no decision has been taken as yet.

¶16

This Court after taking into consideration the aforesaid submission, is of the view that keeping the matter pending will not serve the purpose and as such deem it fit and proper to dispose of the writ petition by directing the

¶17

concerned authority i.e. respondent no.5 to take decision on the claim of the writ petitioner, if no such decision has been taken, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order by providing opportunity

¶18

of being heard to the affected parties, if any, in accordance with law.

¶19

Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of.

¶20

Needless to say that if decision has already been taken, there is no

¶21

need to take further endeavors.
