Against which, the petitioner already filed an appeal on 26-07-2004 along with an application seeking stay thereto. However, no orders have been passed. Having considering the submissions made and also on perusal of the material on record, it is not necessary to go into the merits of the case, in view of the fact that substantive appeal is pending before the respondent No.1, involving several substantial questions, which had to be gone into. However, having regard to the fact no orders have been passed in the said application, when the petitioner is admittedly has been functioning, it is more desirable that the appeal to be disposed of earliest. Accordingly, the 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Pending disposal of the appeal, the orders dated 29-06-2004, passed by the 2nd respondent, shall be stayed. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
