After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and going through the record and considering the entire matter deeply, the instant writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 (Appellate Authority), to decide the stay application, filed by the petitioner, on the next date of hearing. Meanwhile, the operation of impugned order (Annexure P-3) shall remain stayed. April 21, 2011 (Mehinder Singh Sullar) naresh.k Judge
