Therefore, the petitioner filed Ext.P5 appeal before the third respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the third respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P5, expeditiously. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the third respondent to consider Ext.P5 and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the mean while, as proposed in Ext.P4 itself, the respondents are likely to take steps to evict the petitioner from the property in question. If the petitioner files a stay petition in Ext.P5 WP(C) NO. 17111 of 2007 :-2-: appeal, the third respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon within one week from the date of receipt of the stay petition.
