The petitioner states that against the order of eviction dated 26.05.2003 passed by the 2nd respondent, he had preferred an appeal before the first respondent along with an application for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that even before his application for stay is considered and decided, the respondents are taking steps to dispossess him from the land in question, on the basis of the order of eviction dated 26.05.2003. Hence, the present writ petition. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner states that he had preferred an appeal before the first respondent, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the application for stay in the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order of the second respondent dated 26.05.2003 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the meanwhile, status quo obtaining as on today as to the nature and possession of the property in question, shall be maintained for a period of eight weeks from today. No costs. ______________ G.
