J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the successful bidder for the development of a land intended for Telecom City notified by the 3rd respondent as per Ext. P3 notification. The work involves removal of sand from the property. When the petitioner was about to start work, the Government has issued Ext. P11 stay order. The petitioner is aggrieved by the same. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. I am of opinion that Ext. P11 being only a stay order, the Government is bound to pass final orders in the matter after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, expeditiously. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to pass final orders pursuant to Ext. P11 order, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 3rd respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
