At the time of hearing of this writ appeal for admission, the learned counsel for the appellant would submit, that, he would be satisfied, if a direction is issued to the first appellate authority before whom the appeal filed by the contesting respondent is pending, to hear the appellant while considering the application filed by the contesting respondent for grant of an interim order. 3. In our opinion, if that request is granted, no prejudice would be caused to either of the parties. 4. Therefore while disposing of this writ appeal, we direct the appellate authority before whom the appeal and the application for stay filed by the contesting respondent is pending, to afford an opportunity of hearing to the 5th respondent in the writ petition/appellant in this writ appeal, while 2 considering the application for stay and also the appeal. 5. With these observations, the writ appeal is disposed of. Ordered accordingly. H.L. DATTU Chief Justice A.K. BASHEER Judge
