The challenge in this Petition is to the order of externment under the Bombay Police Act, 1951. In an Appeal preferred by the Petitioner, the Appellate authority has declined to grant stay and that is the order impugned in this Petition. 2. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the Appellate Authority was justified in refusing to allow the Application for stay. However, as the order of externment is only for a period of one year, Appeal preferred by the Petitioner will have to be disposed of as expeditiously as possible. 3. Hence, I pass the following order ; i) Prayer for stay is rejected. - 2 - ii) The Appellate authority will decide the Appeal as expeditiously as possible and in any event on or before 14th November 2006. iii) All contentions of the parties in the pending Appeal are kept open. . Parties to act upon an authenticated copy of this order. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
