                                    petitioners and upon perusal of the order sheet on record, we are of the
                                    considered opinion that the aforesaid case cannot be permitted to remain
                                    pending indefinitely.

                                    5. Accordingly, in the facts and circumstances of the case, it is provided that
                                    the proceedings of the aforesaid case shall be concluded and finalized
                                    expeditiously, preferably within six months from the date of presentation of
                                    a certified copy of this order, without granting unnecessary adjournments
                                    and after affording opportunity of hearing to all the affected parties. In
                                    exceptional circumstances, if an adjournment is unavoidable, the same shall
                                    be granted only upon payment of costs of Rs. 250/- per adjournment.

                                    6. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition stands disposed of.
