( 1 ) FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. W.P.NO.4895/2008 Badruddin Abdul Kadar Merchant -vs- State of Mah. And another. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKAR, J. DATE : 12/12/2008 Heard Advocate Saboo for petitioner and learned A.G.P. for respondents No.1 and 2. Learned AGP seeking time, as he is still awaiting instructions. Request made by learned AGP is rejected. Advocate Saboo points out that the revisional order dated 30th July, 2008 is in favour of present petitioner and when he wanted to deposit the amount through challan for restarting of his kerosene outlet, the amount was not accepted. He, therefore, made enquiries under Right to Information Act and got the copy of communication dated 22nd August, 2008 forwarded by respondent No.1 to Collector, Amravati in which, it is mentioned that somebody has filed application for review ( 2 ) before Government and, therefore, respondent No.1 has stayed its own order dated 30th July, 2008. Advocate Saboo states that despite best efforts made thereafter, the revision has not been listed for hearing and interim order continues to operate till today. Learned AGP informs that the order must have been passed because of some serious misconduct. However, the basic order dated 30th July, 2008 is in favour of petitioner and it has been stayed behind his back. The petitioner is therefore entitled to be heard at least on his prayer of vacation of stay. That prayer is also pending since long. In these circumstances, I find that interest of justice can be met with by directing respondent No.1 to decide the revision as early as possible and in any case by 22nd January, 2009. Rule Accordingly. No costs. Petitioner to appear before respondent No.1 for hearing on 23rd December, 2008 and to abide by the further instructions of the authority in the matter. JUDGE gsk
