By consent of the parties, Petition is taken up for final disposal. 3. There has been series of litigations between the parties which has 2 wp1493.11.sxw resulted in the filing of various Petitions. In the last round of litigation i.e. Writ Petition No. 705/2010, this Court vide order dated 4th October, 2010 had permitted the Petitioners to make an Application to the Hon'ble Minister for vacating the stay and on such Application being made, the Hon'ble Minister was directed to decide the same within the stipulated period. By way of the said order, this Court further directed the status-quo granted on 20th September, 2008 to continue for a period of four weeks from the date of order. Vide order dated 9th February, 2011 the Hon'ble Minister has rejected the Application for vacating the stay. However, from the record it can be seen that there has been a order of status-quo operating since 20th November, 2008. It is also not in dispute that the Appellate Authority has allowed the Appeal of the present Petitioner and set aside the order of the District Dy. Registrar. 4. In that view of the matter, I find that the interest of justice would be sub served by directing the Hon'ble Minister to decide the Revision Application within a period of four weeks from today. It is further directed that order of status-quo granted by this Court shall continue to operate till the decision of the Revision Application and in the event the order passed by the Hon'ble Minister is adverse to the interest of the Petitioner, for a 3 wp1493.11.sxw further period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the order. The parties to appear before the Hon'ble Minister on 1st March, 2011. As such the requirement of formal notice to the parties shall stand waived. Learned AGP to communicate the order to the State Government. (B.R. GAVAI, J)
