Since the Statutory Revision is pending before the 1st respondent, it would be appropriate to protect the possession of the petitioner till the said Revision Petition is disposed of in accordance with law. 4. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the Revision Petition pending on its file, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
