BHAVADASAN, JJ. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) NO. 14361 OF 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = DATED THIS, THE 28TH DAY OF MAY, 2009. J U D G M E N T Raman, J. Petitioner who is aggrieved by the delay in disposal of O.A. 12/2007, is seeking a writ of mandamus for appropriate direction to the second respondent - Deputy Commissioner to dispose of the same. Admittedly, as of now, there is an interim stay against him by Ext.P3, though during the interregnum period Ext.P3 was stayed in revision by the Commissioner . In view of the final order passed against Ext.P3 by the Commissioner directing the Deputy Commissioner to take a decision in the matter, the interregnum order passed stands vacated and as a result, Ext.P3 is in force. Utsavam is coming in June, 2009. We cannot possibly direct the Deputy Commissioner to take a final decision before that and in the last moment petitioner has come to this Court and this belated application to that extent cannot be considered. However, since the main application is pending, we direct the WP(C) 14361/2009 :2: Deputy Commissioner to expedite hearing of the case in accordance with law, as early as possible. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P. BHAVADASAN, JUDGE. KNC/-
