I have heard Sri G.Ramakrishna, learned Counsel representing Sri V.Hari Haran, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Sri S.Rajasekhar, learned Counsel representing Sri Ponnam Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General for respondent No.1. The petitioner-Society pleaded that against order, dated 13-02-1999, passed by respondent No.2, it has filed a statutory appeal before respondent No.1 on 06-03-2010 along with an interlocutory application for passing the interim order. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.1 has not so far considered the interlocutory application and that he has not even taken up the appeal for hearing and disposal even though the petitioner served a notice on the other side as directed by respondent No.1. Under the provisions of the Cantonment Act, 1924, respondent No.1 shall make endeavour to dispose of the appeal within a period of 90 days. Since the appeal appears to be one month old only, no direction can be given to respondent No.1 to dispose of the appeal immediately. However, respondent No.1 shall consider the application of the petitioner for interlocutory order and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Respondent No.1 shall also make an endeavour to dispose of the appeal within the time limit stipulated by the statute. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.9567 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 6th April, 2010 lur
