The grievance in this petition is with regard to granting of stay in respect of suspension of licence.

He, therefore, supports the impugned order rejecting prayer for stay without any reason worth the name. In that connection, Mr. Joshi, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner will cooperate with the hearing of the appeal without seeking unnecessary adjournments. In that view of the matter, following directions are issued : 2. The impugned order is hereby set aside. The appellate authority will deal with and decide the application for stay in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within the period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the writ of these directions in accordance with law.
