Mrs. Gajjar, Ld. AGP appearing for the State submits that, before passing any interim direction to the respondents, the petitioner should wait for the result of the appeal which he has preferred. Looking to the facts available on record, if the Respondent No.4 is directed to decide the appeal within a reasonable period of time, the ends of justice would be met with. The Respondent No.4 is directed to deal and decide the appeal, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner at the earliest, preferable within a period of 15 to 20 days. In view of this, the matter is adjourned to 20th August, 1998. It is hereby clarified that, this order is passed by way of interim arrangement. Direct service permitted". Nobody is present on behalf of the petitioner to state whether the appeal, as directed by this court has been decided by the respondent No.4 or not. Though AGP is present, he is not in a position to make any affirmative statement either way in this respect. The Special Civil Application is disposed of in terms that in case the appeal as directed by this court has not been decided so far the same shall be decided within a period of one month from the date of the receipt of the writ of this order. Rule and Special Civil Application stand disposed of accordingly. Interim relief, if any, granted earlier stands vacated. No order as to costs. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner for revival of the Special Civil Application in case of any difficulty. (S.K.Keshote, J.) *Pvv
