Ext.P3 interim order passed in O.A.No.14/2009 is under challenge. There is an order of status quo granted by this court on 20/11/2009. The crux of the issue is that while the petitioner contends that Ext.P3 interim order has been obtained suppressing Ext.P1 order, the undisputed fact is that O.A. is still pending with the Deputy Commissioner. It is stated that against Ext.P3, an appeal has been filed. Under such circumstances, all that is required at this stage is for the Deputy Commissioner to take up Ext.P3 and dispose of it in accordance with law within an outer limit of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and this be done, until then, the interim order passed by this court will govern the matters. If the petitioner applies, he will also be given an opportunity of hearing by the Deputy Commissioner. All other issues are left open. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN,JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE sv.
