BHOSALE, J. DATED : 19TH NOVEMBER, 2009 P.C. . Heard learned counsel for the parties. None appears for respondent no.3, though served. 2. Rule. By consent, rule made returnable forthwith. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents waives service. By consent, the petition is taken up for hearing and final disposal at the admission stage itself. 3. This petition is directed against the interim order dated 10.10.2002 passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar in revision application No.140 of 2002. By this order the stay application and the application for condonation of delay have been allowed. This court while issuing notice to the respondents has granted ad-interim order in terms of prayer clause (c). Mr.Sawant, 2 learned counsel for the petitioners is not in a position to state whether the revision is still pending. It is clear from the ad-interim order passed by this court in terms of prayer clause (c) that the order impugned in the present writ petition dated 10.10.2002 remained stayed till today. None of the respondents have come forward for getting the ad-interim order vacated till this date. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case I am satisfied that this petition need not be kept pending any further and it deserves to be disposed of by the following order: The ad-interim order passed by this court on 5.12.2002 shall remain operative till disposal of revision application No.140 of 2002, if not disposed of so far. The Divisional Joint Registrar shall decide the revision application as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order on merits in accordance with law and uninfluenced by this order. The petitioner to communicate this order to the concerned Divisional Joint Registrar within a period of two weeks from today. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
