Dated this the 28th day of August, 2009
J U D G M E N T
Challenging Ext.P1 order passed by the first respondent, the petitioner
has preferred Ext.P2 appeal before the second respondent, along with Ext.P3
petition for stay. The petitioner is constrained to approach this Court because
of the coercive steps stated as being pursued against them without any regard
to the pendency of the above proceedings.
2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.
3. In the above circumstances, the second respondent is directed to
consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 appeal and P3 petition for stay
in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. However, it is made clear
that, till appropriate orders are passed on Ext.P3 petition for stay, all further
coercive proceedings stated as being pursued against the petitioner shall be
kept in abeyance.
The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON
