It is stated that so far the appeal has not been considered and disposed of. As the appeal is pending before the 1st respondent, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed against the order of the 2nd respondent, dated 04-06-2007, in proceedings No. RCD 52/2005, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.
