In this review petition, petitioner herein, whose disqualification is sought in the aforesaid O.P, complains that, since this court has directed expeditious completion of the proceedings, the first respondent herein has declined to consider his application challenging the maintainability of the proceedings. 2. However, on instructions Standing Counsel appearing for the first respondent Commission submits that when the matter was taken up for consideration, the first respondent thought it appropriate to consider the maintainability application, at the final hearing and that it was therefore that the maintainability application was not considered at the preliminary stage. 3. From the submission made by the Standing Counsel as above, it is evident that it is not because of the direction of this court to expedite the proceedings, the maintainability application RP.No. 449/2010 :2 : was not considered by the Commission. If that be so, the review sought is unnecessary. Review Petition is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
