As against the said decision of the 2nd respondent, the petitioner preferred a revision petition before th e 1st respondent on 10-06-2005. The learned counsel for the petitioner Sri V.Vijaynandan Reddy states that he had himself appeared for the petitioner before the 1st respondent on 30-06-2005 and even till date the 1st respondent has not proceeded to consider the revision. As the petitioner faces the prospect of eviction from the shop consequent on the 2nd respondent’s orders against which he preferred the revision, it is appropriate that the 1st respondent should consider and dispose of either the revision petition or the interlocutory application filed by the petitioner along with the revision petition expeditiously. For the aforesaid reasons having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader of Endowment and also the learned Standing counsel for the 3rd and 4th respondents, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to expeditiously and preferably within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, consider either the appeal or the interlocutory application and communicate the decision thereon to the petitioner within the aforesaid time. It is clarified that nothing in this order shall be construed as an expression by this Court on the merits of the petitioner’s revision petition and the petitioner’s revision or the interlocutory application should be considered on its own merits and in the light of the facts on record.
