A certificate proceeding was instituted against the vendor in the year 1988-89. The vendor is said to have filed his written statement which indicates that he had sold the land in favour of the petitioner in 1972. It is submitted that despite assertion made on behalf of the vendor, notices were not issued to the petitioner. Finally, the lands were auction sold and respondent no. 5 is said to have deposited the money for purchase of the said house. Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no. 5 submits that in fact notices were issued and there was a paper publication regarding the certificate proceeding. After the notice, lands were auction sold and the money was deposited, the petitioner has filed an objection which is pending before the Certificate Officer who apparently has sent the record to the local G.P. for an opinion. 2 Be that as it may, the objection of the petitioners and the argument on behalf of respondent no. 5 may be heard and disposed of by the concerned authority within a period of four months on receipt of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. The parties are directed to maintain status quo till disposal of the objection petition. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
