The 2nd respondent has appeared in person. The learned Government Pleader is unable to explain to the Court whether the appeal has been disposed of. However, the 2nd respondent who appears in person submits before the Court that the appeal has already been disposed of by dismissal on 30.05.2007. Nothing further survives in the matter. 2. However, the 2nd respondent submits that there has been no proper disposal of the appeal. All remedies available under law for the 2nd respondent shall remain with him notwithstanding the directions issued on 29.03.2006 for an expeditious disposal. The direction was only to expeditiously dispose of the appeal and any grievance of the 2nd respondent against the judgment in the appeal can be taken up before appropriate authorities. 3. This petition is, in these circumstances, closed with the above observations. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
