BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.7524 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of March, 2008. JUDGMENT Exts.P9 and P12 orders passed by the competent authorities under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act have been challenged in statutory revision before the GovernmentExt.P13. Ext.P15 is an application for stay filed therein [produced along with I.A.No.3377/08]. Petitioner is aggrieved that even during the pendency of the writ petition, steps have been taken to implement Ext.P9. At the same time, orders have not been passed either on the revision or on the application for stay. 2. After having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I am of the view that it is incumbent on the first respondent to look into Ext.P13 revision as early as possible. The revision may be disposed of at the earliest, at any rate, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. But, orders shall be passed on Ext.P15 application for stay within two months from the W.P.(C).NO.7524/08 :: 2 :: date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Enforcement of Exts.P9 and P12 shall be kept in abeyance till orders are passed on Ext.P15 application for stay. The Government shall hear the petitioner as also the 4th respondent, before orders are passed on the stay petition as also on the revision. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
