BHANU W.P.No.19210 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring proceedings in Rc.Cs.2/3117/2005, dated 17.8.2005 of the 1st respondent in rejecting the stay application filed by the petitioner along with the Appeal as illegal and arbitrary. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and perused the material placed on record. The stay petition was rejected on the ground that the charges levelled against the petitioner are grave in nature. It is an interlocutory order dated 17.8.2005 passed by the Joint Collector, therefore, it does not suffer from any legal infirmities.

In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent-Joint Collector to dispose of the appeal within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________ 31.08.2005 bcj
