This petition is filed to challenge the order passed by the District Supply Officer, Thane on 21/4/2008 whereby the Fair Price Shop licence granted to the petitioner has been cancelled. The petitioner has filed an appeal against the said order before the Deputy Commissioner (Supply), Konkan Division, Navi Mumbai, Dist. Thane and the same is pending. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that in the said appeal he had filed an application on 16th May, 2008 seeking stay of the order passed by the District Supply Officer, Thane. Since no order - = : 2 : = - is passed on the said application, the petitioner was constrained to file the present petition. 3. Since the appeal as well as the interim stay application filed by the petitioner filed before the Deputy Commissioner (Supply), Konkan Division, Navi Mumbai, Dist. Thane is pending in my view, it would be just and proper that the Deputy Commissioner (Supply), Konkan Division, Navi Mumbai, Dist. Thane should be directed to dispose of the said stay application expeditiously. 4. Accordingly, the Deputy Commissioner (Supply), Konkan Division, Navi Mumbai, Dist. Thane is directed to dispose of the appeal / stay application filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and in any event within a period of 3 weeks from today. 5. Petition is disposed of in the above terms with no order as to costs. (J.P. DEVADHAR, J.) (J.P. DEVADHAR, J.) (J.P. DEVADHAR, J.)
