I heard learned Government Pleader also. He does not seriously oppose the said prayer. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that at each stage the matter was directed to be kept in abeyance. I feel that the proceedings pursuant to Ext.P11 should not be enforced during the pendency of the statutory revision said to have been filed by the petitioner within time. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P10 in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It WPC. 23893/2008. 2 is further ordered that till such time as a decision is taken, Ext.P11 shall not be enforced. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
