This Writ Petition is filed to challenge three orders namely, order passed by the Tahsildar on 10th May, 2002, order dated 1st September, 2006 passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Ulhasnagar and order dated 22nd February, 2007 passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Konkan Division. 2. In this case, the Tahsildar by his order dated 10th May, 2002 had recorded a finding that the respondent Nos.3 to 44 are tenants of the disputed property. The appeal filed by the petitioner was dismissed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Ulhasnagar by order dated 1st - = : 2 : = - September, 2006. In the Revision application filed by the petitioner under section 76 of the Bombay Tenancy & Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, an application was made seeking stay of the orders passed by lower authorities. However, by the impugned order dated 22nd February, 2007 stay pending the disposal of the Revision Application was declined. 3. Although several contentions are raised by the petitioner, in my view, since the Revision Application is pending before the Divisional Commissioner for a considerable period of time, it would be just and equitable to direct the Divisional Commissioner, Konkan Division, Mumbai to dispose of the Revision Application expeditiously. 4. Accordingly, the Divisional Commissioner, Konkan Division, Mumbai is directed to dispose of the Revision Application No.TNC/125/B/06 filed by the petitioner within a period of 3 months from the receipt of this order. 4. Petition is disposed of accordingly with no order as to costs. - = : 3 : = - (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.)
