Pending disposal of the appeals, the 2nd respondent is taking steps to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeals filed against the orders of the 3rd respondent, dated 07-07-2007, in proceedings in Rc.Nos.A/332/2006, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.
