In the case of Revenue Officer Govinda Prasad Adhikari vs. Yasasvi Properties Pvt. Ltd. (NKP 2077 Vo. 4, DN 10475), the apex court clarified the officer or body assigned the duty to decide on the application that has been received in accordance with the law. They should listen to both parties, evaluate the evidence submitted by the parties and make an open decision based on the reasons and reasons.

Refusing to make a decision for any other reason or delaying the decision without a definite decision cannot be considered as a just and lawful activity.

The order issued by the appellate court Patan to fulfill the duty prescribed by law seems to be lawful.
