It is stated that pending disposal of the appeal, the 2nd respondent is taking steps to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question. As the appeal is pending before the 1st respondent, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that it is just and proper to direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal itself. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal filed against the order of the 2nd respondent, dated 16-11-2007, in proceedings No.B/386- A3/2007, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law.
