In this intra-court appeal the challenge is to the order dated 5.5.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in CWJC. No.3833 of 2010, whereby the learned Single Judge placing reliance on the decision rendered in Sharda Kailash Mittal v. State of M.P. & Ors., 2010 (2) SCC 319, has passed the following order: “Till further orders of this Court, the impugned order of the State Government removing the petitioner from the post of Mukhiya shall remain inoperative with all consequences, as a result whereof newly added respondent no.8 is restrained from functioning as a Mukhiya.” It is submitted by Mr. Dinu Kumar, learned counsel for the appellant, that the learned Single Judge should not have granted the stay. Be it noted, the 2 learned Single Judge has directed to list the matter for admission at zero item on 24.6.2010. Regard being had to the nature of the lis and the order of stay passed, we are only inclined to request the learned Single Judge to dispose of the writ petition by 15th of July, 2010. We may repeat at the cost of repetition that such a request is being made regard being had to the nature of controversy. With the aforesaid observation, the appeal stands disposed of.
