While admitting the writ petition on 5.1.2007, a Division Bench of this Court has issued the interim suspension of the proceedings impugned in the O.A. The petitioner is the applicant. On the O.A.7406 of 2006 filed by the applicant, the tribunal has issued notice to the respondents. At this stage, the applicant has approached this Court. The notice itself, which is nothing but affording an opportunity to the other side to rebut the allegations, cannot be construed as an order to maintain the present writ petition. Apart from that, the relief that is sought for in the O.A.7406 of 2006 and the relief that is sought for in this writ petition, is one and the same. Therefore, the opinion, if any expressed by this Court at this stage of the proceedings, may be subjudice to the proceedings pending before the tribunal. In the circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, We feel it appropriate to direct the tribunal to dispose of the O.A. within a period of eight (8) Weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is also made clear that the interim suspension granted by this Court shall continue till such disposal of the O.A. Subject to the above direction, this W.P. is disposed of. No order as to costs.
