Holding
The Court held that it may direct the administrative authority to decide the pending revision expeditiously, without granting unnecessary adjournments, provided there is no legal impediment.
Summary
Smt. Ramshree filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court seeking a direction to the Additional Commissioner (Administrative), Agra Division, to decide Revision No.1925 of 2025 (Computer Case No.C202501000001925) expeditiously. The petitioner argued that despite considerable time lapse, no final decision had been rendered. The Court observed that putting the respondents on notice was unnecessary and reserved the right to modify the order if aggrieved. Consequently, the Court ordered the respondent to decide the revision promptly, in accordance with law, and to refrain from granting unnecessary adjournments unless a legal impediment exists. The petition was disposed with this directive.

HON'BLE PRAKASH PADIA, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing
Counsel for the respondent-State and perused the record.

direct the respondent no.2-Additional Commissioner (Administrative),

Case No.C202501000001925 expeditiously.

time has already been lapsed but till date no final decision has been
taken in the matter.
5. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the present petition is
disposed of directing the respondent no.2 to decide the aforesaid
revision expeditiously strictly in accordance with law and without
granting unnecessary adjournment unless there is no legal
impediment.
