According to him, the appeal is still pending without orders and therefore this writ petition has been filed praying for an order requiring the second respondent to dispose of the matter on an expeditious basis. 2. Having heard the counsel for the petitioner, I see no reason to decline the relief sought for, especially when the appeal filed by the petitioner is a statutory one. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the second respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 appeal, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
