By means of the present writ petition under Section 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has prayed for expeditious disposal the application dated 28.01.2026 under section 24 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, in Case No. 13305 of 2025 [T202508150313305] "Amerika & Others Vs. Gaon Sabha & Others" pending before the Opposite Party No.2/learned Assistant Collector, Tehsil-Kaisarganj, District- Bahraich. The said application contained as Annexure No. 3 is for the compliance of order dated 20.01.2026 passed by the Sub Divisional Officer whereby the demarcation report submitted by the Revenue Inspector, dated 20.11.2025 has been approved.

3. The learned counsel further states that Rule 22(12) of the Uttar Pradesh Code Rules 2015 provides that the Sub Divisional Officer shall pass an order on the matter pending demarcation after hearing all the concerned parties. It is further provided in the Rule that the Revenue Ispector shall comply with such order within a period of 2 weeks from the date of the order and submit a report to the Sub Divisional Officer. In view of the aforesaid provision, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for a direction A227 No. 3350 of 2026 2 to the Sub Divisional Officer to dispose of the said application dated 28.01.2026 in the light of the aforesaid Rules. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that because of the pendency of the said matter the petitioner is facing undue hardship. 4. Learned Counsel appearing for the opposite parties submits that they have no objection to the extent of a direction to be issued by this Court for expeditious disposal of the application within stipulated period as to be fixed by this Court. 5. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served in keeping this writ petition pending.

6. Accordingly, without adverting on merits of the case, with the consent of the parties, this Court deems it appropriate to finally dispose of the present writ petition with a direction to the Opposite Party No.2/learned Assistant Collector, Tehsil-Kaisarganj, District- Bahraich, before whom the aforementioned matter is said to be pending for disposal, to decide the application dated 28.01.2026 in the case filed under section 24 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, in Case No. 13305 of 2025 [T202508150313305] "Amerika & Others Vs. Gaon Sabha & Others", strictly in accordance with law by a reasoned and speaking order on merit, expeditiously and preferably within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, unless there is any legal impediment, subject to cooperation of the parties concerned. It is further directed that no unnecessary adjournments be granted to either of the parties and the adjournment, if prayed for, will be permissible to be granted only in exceptional circumstances. 7.
