THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE BILAL NAZKI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.18754 of 2002 DATED 08-03-2007 Order: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Bilal Nazki): This Writ Petition is pending in the Court from the year 2002. This Court had granted interim stay on 03-10-2002 in view of the fact that an appeal was pending before the appellate authority. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, neither the learned Counsel for the petitioner nor the learned Counsel for the respondent exactly knows whether the appeal has been decided or not. Since the matter is pending in this Court from 2002, we accept that the appeal must have been decided and in such a case, the Writ Petition itself would be infructuous. However, we clarify that if the appeal has not been disposed of so far, it shall be decided within the next two weeks and the stay shall continue till disposal of the appeal. With these observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________________ (Bilal Nazki, J) Dated 8th March, 2007 ______________________​______ (Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J) lur
