According to the petitioner, she has filed Ext.P7 before the Minister, which was forwarded to the 1st respondent for consideration. It is stated that in pursuance thereof, the office of the 1st respondent has issued Ext.P9 notice of hearing scheduling the hearing on 06/04/2009. It is stated that in the meanwhile, the petitioner is sought to be evicted from the house she is occupying, in pursuance to Exts.P5 & P6. It is with this grievance, the writ petition is filed. 2. I heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents also. 3. It is evident from Ext.P9 that the 1st respondent has scheduled hearing of Ext.P7, which has been forwarded to the 1st respondent for its consideration. Therefore, it is only appropriate that the 1st respondent maintains status quo until orders are passed on Ext.P7. WP(C) No.10935/2009 -2- 4. In view of the above, I dispose of the writ petition directing the 1st respondent to maintain status quo in so far as the possession of the petitioner in respect of the building under her occupation is concerned, until orders are passed on Ext.P7, for which the hearing is now scheduled on 06/04/2009. 5. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
