Respondents. .......................... Mr. V.G. Raokhande, Advocate, holding for Mr. S.M. Godsay, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. S.G. Nandedkar, Assistant Government Pleader, for respondent nos.1 to 6. .......................... CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. DATE : 16TH NOVEMBER 2009. COURT'S ORDER : 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard by consent. 2. Since no order prejudicial to the interest of respondent no.7 is being passed, service of notice, upon rule, on the said respondent is waived. 3. By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the order dated 21st July 2009, vide which the respondent no.2 has extended the stay granted by it to the earlier order passed by the Deputy Commissioner (Supplies), Aurangabad, allowing the appeal filed by the (3) present petitioner. 4. Since the petition arises out of interlocutory order, I find that the interest of justice would be met by directing the respondent no.2 to dispose of the revision filed by the respondent no.7 expeditiously. 5. Hence, the petition is partly allowed. The respondent no.2 is directed to dispose of the revision filed by the respondent no.7, after giving an opportunity of hearing to all concerned parties, as expeditiously as possible and in any case, within a period of six weeks from today. 6. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms. There shall be no order as to costs. ( B.R. GAVAI ) JUDGE ......................... bgp/wp5318
