As the Respondent- authorities of the Zila Parishad, Banka are not even appearing in the matter, I have no option, but to direct Zila Parishad, Bank through the Deputy Development Commissioner, Banka to consider the request of the petitioner contained in her representations dated 26.4.2011 and 22.6.2011, Annexures-4 and 5 in the light of the contents of the indenture dated 7.9.1914, Annexure-1 within a reasonable time, not exceeding one month from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order before the Deputy Development Commissioner, Banka.
