It is stated that so far neither stay application nor appeal has been disposed of. It is stated that pending disposal of the appeal, the 2nd respondent is taking steps to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. As the appeal along with stay application are pending in Roc.No.E/2205/2007 before the 1st respondent, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal itself. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal, which is pending in Roc.No.E/2205/2007, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law, after giving reasonable opportunity to the petitioner. Pending disposal of the appeal, the 2nd respondent is directed not to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 01-11-2007 Note: Issue C.C. by tomorrow (B/o) Prv
