Further, it cannot be said that there is inordinate delay in considering the application as appeal was preferred only on 19.06.2019. Therefore, no time limit can be prescribed. However, 2nd respondent is directed to expedite hearing and take action on the appeal preferred by the petitioner within the time frame.

Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of.
