Hence, the present writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions. After hearing the learned counsel for both the parties, this writ petition is disposed of, giving liberty to the petitioner to file revision petition before the appropriate authority of the Tribal Welfare Department, if so advised, within a period of two weeks from today, in which event, the revisional authority shall entertain the stay application filed by the petitioner along with the revision petition and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of two weeks thereafter. Till the application for stay is decided, both the parties are directed to maintain status quo obtaining as on today. It is made clear that in case the petitioner failed to file the revision petition as directed above, the status quo shall stand vacated automatically. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 07.07.2011 bcj
