The petitioner has preferred an appeal before the Deputy Commissioner. He has not decided the appeal till date.

Accordingly, we direct the Deputy Commissioner to decide the appeal within a period of four weeks from today by a self contained order. The petitioner and respondent No. 4 shall be heard in person by the Deputy Commissioner. With these directions, the writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications.
