They were issued eviction notices evidenced by Exts.P3 and P4. Against these eviction notices, they have filed Exts. P5 and P6 appeals accompanied by Exts.P5 (a) and P6 (a) stay petitions. Appeals and stay petitions filed under Section 87(1) of the Kerala State Housing Board Act are pending. Apprehending coercive action pursuant to Exts.P3 and P4 notices, this writ petition has been filed. 2. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents Board and the learned Government Pleader. 3. In view of the pendency of Exts.P5 and P6 appeals accompanied by Exts.P5 (a) and P6 (a) stay petitions I feel any coercive action at this stage is premature. 4. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 3rd respondent, the appeals and stay W.P (C) No.37546 of 2010 2 petitions to whom were pending, shall consider Ext.P5 and P6 appeals with notice to the parties concerned, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months of production of a copy of this judgment. Further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P3 and P4 shall be kept in abeyance. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 3rd respondent, for compliance. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge
