1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2322 OF 2009 1. Sadhuram Vasantram Meghani and anr. .. Petitioners Vs 1. Divisional Commissioner, PuneDivision, Pune and ors. .. Respondent Mr. R.P.Walvekar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. P.D.Dalvi, Advocate for Respondent no.2. Mr R.M.Patne, AGP, for respondent nos 1 and 4. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 05/11/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This writ petition challenges the order dated 9.2.2009 passed by Additional Commissioner, Pune Division, Pune. I have perused the order. In my opinion, there is no order passed against the petitioners and by the order dated 9.2.2009 the Additional Commissioner has simply issued a notice to the respondents on the application for stay filed by the petitioners. Till this date, the application for stay has not been heard by the Commissioner. I do not wish to enter into a controversy as to at whose instance the Commissioner adjourned the hearing on the T 2 application for stay. The appropriate course will be to direct the Additional Commissioner to decide the application for stay within time frame. Hence, I pass the following order. The Additional Commissioner, Pune Division, Pune, shall decide the application for stay dated 9.2.2009 filed by the petitioners in the appeal against the order dated 3.2.2009 passed by the Collector as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. All contentions of the parties are kept open including the contention of respondent no.2 that the appeal filed before the Additional Commissioner itself is not maintainable. With these directions, the writ petition is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
