DATED : JUNE 7, 2006 DATED : JUNE 7, 2006 DATED : JUNE 7, 2006 P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- . This petition can be conveniently disposed of by directing the respondent no.1 State to dispose of the application made by the petitioner under Section 23 of the Act. 2. It was canvassed on behalf of the petitioner by the learned Counsel that till such decision comes, interim relief in terms of prayer clause (c) be continued as it was initially granted. In a similar writ petition by this very petitioner, same order was made by this Court and no interim relief of the kind - 2 - prayed for was granted. That order was passed on 6th September, 2005. Application of the petitioner is not yet decided and yet none of the respondents have taken any coercive action against the petitioner for acts done. In such circumstances, we see no reason to make any such interim order in the present case. 3. The State is directed to decide the application under Section 23 within eight weeks from the date of the receipt of this order. It appears that inspite of the order made by this Court, immediate adjudication of such application under Section 23 of the Act is not taken up. The State would do better by deciding this application expeditiously. . Petition accordingly is disposed of. (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M.
