P.C.: 1 This Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 22.10.2003 passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Konkan Division, Mumbai. This Writ Petition is filed in this Court on 13.02.2004. It was placed before the learned Single Judge on 17.02.2004 and the notice was directed to be issued returnable after four weeks. The notice indicated that the petition will be disposed of finally at the stage of admission. The Court granted ad-interim order in terms of prayer clause (c) of the Writ Petition which has been continuing till date. On account of non- compliance with certain office objections, that Writ Petition is pending in this Court for last more than 07 years. 2 On the last occasion, I had inquired to the parties as to whether, the main proceedings before the Commissioner are pending or disposed of. There was no stay as far as proceeding further in the matter is concerned. The matter was adjourned till date to enable the parties to *2* wp.1952.1953.04.907.sxw take instructions. Today, both sides report that the Commissioner, Konkan Division, Mumbai has not disposed of the main matter which is pending before him for last more than 09 years. 3 Both sides request that the Commissioner may be directed to dispose of the pending proceedings as expeditiously as possible. 4 In the light of the fact that the proceedings are pending before the Commissioner from 2002 and this Writ Petition is pending in this Court for last more than 07 years; the interest of justice would be served if this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Commissioner to dispose of the pending proceedings as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six weeks from today. Ad- interim order granted by this Court on 17.02.2004 to continue for a period of eight weeks from today.
