After hearing the arguments of Sri M.Srikanth, learned counsel for the petitioner, and perusing the record, I am of the view that this writ petition cannot be entertained at this stage, because the appeal said to have been filed by the petitioner against the impugned order is pending before respondent No.2. Therefore, respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the appeal, if filed by the petitioner, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.10753 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
