A specific statement has been made in paragraph-10 that the petitioner has already filed an appeal on 4.7.2008. Learned counsel for the State is unable to 2 make any submissions with regard to the status of the appeal in absence of any counter affidavit. If the petitioner has filed an appeal and it has not already been disposed off, let the same be done in accordance with law within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
