    Summary The High Court of Chhattisgarh disposed of a petition by 40 tribal petitioners challenging the inaction of the Sub-Divisional Officer in deciding their appeal under the Forest Rights Act, 2006, which had been pending since February 27, 2024. The court held that statutory authorities must decide such appeals within a reasonable period, as indefinite delays defeat the statute's purpose and violate the right to speedy justice, and directed the respondent authority to decide the appeal expeditiously within 60 days while affording the petitioners due hearing opportunity.
