DATE: 27.08.2009 PER COURT: Heard learned counsel for the parties. This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by which the petitioner prays for issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the respondent no.8 – standing committee to decide the pending appeal within a stipulated period. The petitioner also prays for issuance of a writ of - 2 - certiorari for quashing and setting aside the attachment notice dated 12.5.2009 issued by the respondent no.4 – Grampanchayat, Kumbephal Dist.Aurangabad. The other reliefs are pertaining to the ad interim reliefs. When this petition was listed before the learned Vacation Judge on 22.5.2009, the learned Vacation Judge issued notices to the respondents and granted ad interim relief in terms of prayer clauses (D) and (E) to the petition. The ad interim relief has been operating since 22.5.2009. Shri U.B. Bondar, learned counsel for the respondent no.8 – standing committee, states that the petitioner was heard on 1.7.2009 in respect of the pending appeal and the standing committee would pass orders in accordance with law within 15 days from today. We accept the aforesaid statement as an undertaking to the Court. In the light of that statement, Shri N.R. Bhavar, the learned counsel for the petitioner, seeks to withdraw this writ petition and requests that since the interim order has been operating since May, 2009, the same may be continued for a period of 15 days from the decision of the appeal in order to facilitate the petitioner for availing alternative remedies, which may be available in law for challenging the order of the standing committee, if the same is adverse to the interest of the petitioner. We accordingly dismiss this petition as withdrawn and direct that the ad interim relief would continue for a period of 15 days from the date of communication of the decision to the petitioner. In the circumstances, there will be no order as to costs. (A.V. Potdar, J.) (P.V. Hardas, J.) ndk/c2780922
