Order
(Per Court)
1. The Petitioners are the Original Applicants in O.A. No.1154 of 2024.
2. The purpose of filing of this Petition is to seek a direction from this Court to the Tribunal, to decide the said O.A. expeditiously and out of turn.
3. All litigants are equal in the eyes of law. Each one is waiting for his/her turn to have a final decision in the proceedings. Merely because the Petitioners can afford to approach the High Court, would mean that the High Court should bless him with an ‘out of turn’ hearing, by giving the Petitioners pending proceeding a special status. So also, the said proceeding is lodged in 2024 and we are informed that the Tribunal is finally hearing cases lodged in 2016-17.
4. In view of the above, this Petition is dismissed.
5. Needless to state, as and when the turn of the Petitioners would arrive for a final hearing, in queue as per their date of filing of the OA, the Tribunal would take up the matter for final hearing. (OM NARAYAN RAI , J.) (RAVINDRA V. GHUGE) Chief Justice
