By consent taken up for final hearing forthwith. 3. One of the challenge in these Writ Petitions is to the orders passed by the revisional authority by which the -2- revisional authority has vacated the stay granted earlier in favour of the Petitioners of the operation of the orders impugned in the revision applications preferred by the Petitioners. The case of the Petitioners is that the orders of stay were vacated by the revisional authority without giving an opportunity of being heard to the Petitioner. By ad-interim order passed by this Court, the orders of stay which were earlier passed by the Revisional Authority have been continued by way of an ad-interim relief. The learned A.G.P. states that the Revisional Authority is now in position to decide the Revision Applications finally and the same will be decided within a period of eight weeks from today. 4. In view of this statement, Writ Petitions need not be kept pending. The Writ Petitions can be disposed of by directing that the orders of stay passed by the Revisional Authority on the revision Applications preferred by the Petitioners will continue to operate till the disposal of the Revision Applications and for a period of two weeks from the date of communication of the orders passed on Revision Applications to the Petitioners in case the decision on the revision applications is adverse to the Petitioners. All the issues raised in the Writ Petitions can be raised in the pending Revision applications. -3- 5. Hence, Petitions are disposed of by passing the following order : i) The interim relief which was operating in favour of the Petitioners in the Revision Applications preferred by them before the State Government and which was vacated by the orders impugned in these Writ Petitions will continue to operate till the final disposal of the revision applications. ii) Revision Applications shall be decided finally within a period of eight weeks from today. iii) It is obvious that the Revisional Authority will decide the revision applications after giving an opportunity to the Petitioners of being heard. iv) The orders of stay will continue to operate for a period of two weeks from the date of communication of the orders passed in Revision Applications to the Petitioners, if the said orders are adverse to the Petitioners. v) All contentions of the parties are expressly kept open. vi) Parties to act upon an authenticated copy of this order. -4- JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
