For Petitioner : Mr.K.Mohanamurali For Respondents: Mr.A.Edwin Prabakar, GA https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ O R D E R This writ petition is filed challenging the order of the 1st respondent dated 21.7.06 under which the 1st respondent while entertaining the revision petition dated 30.06.2006, filed against the order of the District Revenue Officer, Ramanathapuram, dated 01.06.2006, has rejected the claim of the stay petition and it is as against the said rejection of stay, the present writ petition is filed. 2. Admittedly, as against the order of the District Revenue Office, Ramanathapuram, the revision petition has been entertained by the 1st respondent. Simply because while pending the revision petition, the 1st respondent has refused to grant stay, that cannot be a ground for filing a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, for granting interim order by the review authority who is having the statutory power is a discretionary power. 3. The writ petition is dismissed with the following observation: "In view of the same, in order to meet the ends of justice, I am of the considered view that the 1st respondent before whom the revision is pending, should be directed to dispose of the revision petition within the stipulated time and accordingly, the 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the revision petition dated 30.6.2006 filed by the petitioner against the order of the District Revenue Officer dated 01.06.2006 in respect of Survey No.340/3A Vaagaikulam Village, Kadaladi Taluk, Ramanathapuram District and pass appropriate orders after giving opportunity to the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order." No costs.
