Aggrieved by the common order dt.14.10.2005 passed by the third respondent under Section 8(4) read with Section 9 of the Act, he filed an appeal before second respondent on 3.11.2005. He statedly filed an application seeking interim stay contending that during the pendency of the proceedings before the third respondent there was status quo in his favour. As no orders are passed by second respondent in the stay application, and there is a threat of publication of notification under Sections 10(1) and 10(3) of the Act, the petitioner filed present Writ Petition seeking a declaration and a direction. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Urban Land Ceiling), though this Court is not inclined to pass any interim order in favour of the petitioner, this Court is of considered opinion that second respondent should pass orders on the application filed by the petitioner for stay within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner is given liberty to approach the second respondent with a copy of this order for passing appropriate orders on the stay application. The Writ Petition with the above observations is accordingly disposed of. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 29.11.2005 bnr Note: Issue CC tomorrow – 30.11.2005. (B.O) bnr
