Challenging Ext.P11 order passed by the 1st respondent, the
petitioner has filed Ext.P12 appeal before the 4th respondent Tribunal,
along with I.A. to condone the delay of 170 days in filing the same. The
petitioner is apprehending coercive action at the hands of the
respondents and hence has rushed to this Court by filing the present
Writ Petition.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner is intending to prefer an I.A. for stay and unless interference is
made by this Court, irreparable loss and hardship will be resulted to the
petitioner.
3. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.
4. Considering the facts and circumstances, the petitioner is
permitted to file an I.A. for stay, if so desired, within ten days. The 4th
respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on the
I.A. preferred by the petitioner for condoning the delay in filing the
appeal and also in the I.A. for stay if any, to be filed as above, as
expeditiously as possible. However, it is made clear that till such
