1.

The appeals fled by the petitioners are pending against the order dated 8th June 2022 thereby cancelling the petitioners' Orchestra License. The appeal is not yet decided.

2.

In similar matter bearing Writ Petition No. 7877 of 2022, the learned AGP had made a statement that preferably within four months, the appeal would be decided. 3.

The learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have also fled stay applications, which are also not yet decided. According to the learned Counsel for the petitioners as the appeals are fled, it would be axiomatic stay. Reliance is placed on the judgment of this Court in Bhaskar B. Bhosle v. State of Maharashtra1. 2003 (4) Mh. L. J. 328.
