Judgment:
(Prayer: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, praying this Court to issue a Writ of Mandamus directing the second respondent to complete the proceedings within the time frame fixed by this Court and subsequently to direct the second respondent to cancel the patta in the name of the respondents 4 to 6 and issue patta in the name of the petitioner, Petitioner's mother and sisters relating to the properties in S.Nos.87/1E, 95/3C, 95/3F,95/3G, 85/9, Patta No.483, Thamaraipatti Village, Dindigul District.)
1. This Writ Petition is filed by the Petitioner for a Writ of Mandamus directing the second respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the Petitioner.
2. Mr.A.Muthukaruppan, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents 1 to 3.
3. By consent of both parties, the main Writ Petition is taken up for disposal, at the admission stage itself.
4. It is seen from the typed-set of papers that the appeal itself was filed only on 4.11.2016. Therefore, it is seen that without even waiting for a reasonable time for the second respondent to act on the appeal, the Petitioner has rushed to this Court hurriedly and filed the present Writ Petition.
5. Therefore, I consider this attempt of the Petitioner as highly pre-matured. In any event, as it is the second respondent who has to decide the appeal on merits and in accordance with law, after hearing both parties, I only direct the second respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the Petitioner at the earliest possible time, in any event, within a period of four months from the date of date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
