Heard on the question of admission.

The only relief prayed for by the learned counsel for the petitioner is for a direction to the respondent no.2 Collector to consider and decide Civil Case No.14/2012-13 filed before him by the petitioner on 25.9.2013 against the appointment of respondent no.7.

It is submitted that the respondent no.2 Collector, Satna be directed to immediately decide the petitioner's aforesaid Civil Case.

Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is observed that there is nothing on record to indicate that the Collector has deliberately delayed the matter and is not hearing the same.

On a query being made, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that notices have been issued to the respondents by the Collector but the respondent no.7 has not entered appearance and on that count the matter has been adjourned.

It has also been stated that the Collector has listed the matter 5 to 6 times but on account of the absence of respondent no.7 no further proceedings have been taken up.

2 W.P.No.20287/2013 Devashish Verma versus State of M.P.& ORS.Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and in view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, it is clear that the Collector is not delaying the matter and has infact issued notice to the respondent no.7 who has yet not entered appearance and, therefore, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case I do not find any reason to issue any direction to the Collector as prayed for.
