The said licence was cancelled by the second respondent by an order dated 1.9.2008. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the ﬁrst respondent. Though the appeal was entertained, the ﬁrst respondent by order dated 20.9.2008, rejected the petitioner’s application for interim stay. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition has been filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for respondents, though I do not ﬁnd any justiﬁable reason to interfere with the discretion exercised by the ﬁrst respondent in declining to grant the interim stay pending the statutory appeal, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the ﬁrst respondent to dispose of the main appeal pending on his ﬁle as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _______________ JUSTICE G.ROHINI 30th September, 2008. PNV THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.21669 OF 2008 Dated: 30-9-2008
