For the reasons as set out in my order in W.P.No. 842 of 2005 passed today, this petition is disposed of in terms of the said directions and the prayer for protection pending the appeal or the stay petition in the said appeal, stands rejected. The State Govt. is directed to decide the pending appeal or the stay petition in the same, as the case may be, as expeditiously as possible and in any case, within a period of four weeks from today on its own merits and after hearing the petitioner. 2. Mr.Kansara submitted an oral application for stay of this order. Admittedly, the petitioner has been -2- running the concerned amusement activity without licence for the last more than four years and therefore, the prayer made for stay to this order is rejected.
