Holding
The court directs the respondent to decide the restoration application within three months, without unnecessary adjournments.
Summary
The Committee of Management of Swawalambi Basic Primary Pathshala filed a writ petition seeking an order directing the Assistant Collector (First Class)/Tehsildar of Machalishehar, Jaunpur to decide a restoration application dated 30 September 2025. The petitioners argued that despite a considerable lapse of time, no final decision had been rendered. The court noted that putting the respondents on notice would serve no useful purpose and that the petitioners' relief could be granted by a direct order. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition, directing the respondent to decide the restoration application strictly in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months, and to avoid unnecessary adjournments unless a legal impediment exists. The order was pronounced on 19 March 2026.
