The same was taken up as L.T.R.P.NO. 43 of 2004. Through his order, dated 04.08.2004, the third respondent directed eviction of the petitioners. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners filed C.M.A.No. 60 of 2005 before the second respondent. The appeal was dismissed on 22.10.2005. The petitioners filed a revision before the first respondent together with an application for stay. They complain that even while the application for stay is pending before the first respondent, respondents 4 and 5 are taking steps to evict them from the land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. The petitioners availed the remedy of revision before the first respondent aggrieved by the order of eviction passed against them. If they are evicted from the land, even while the revision filed before the first respondent is pending, nothing remains to be decided in it and the revision would become infructuous. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained over the land in question till the first respondent disposes of the revision filed by the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 06.01.2006 sh
