CORAM : REVATI MOHITE DERE, J.

DATE : 26th SEPTEMBER, 2018 P.C. :

1.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner.

2.

At the outset, learned Counsel for the Petitioner does not press prayer clause (b) and prays that the prayer clause (e) be granted i.e. the Hon'ble Revenue Minister be directed to decide the Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018) filed by the Petitioner within a time bound period.

2/3 3.

Learned AGP on instructions makes a statement that the said Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018) will be decided within six months.

4.

Learned Counsel for the Respondent No.3 submits that since the Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018) is pending before the Hon'ble Minister, the Talathi is not implementing the order dated 25th June, 2018 and as such requests that a direction be given to decide the Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018), within 3 months. 5.

Without going into the merits of this Petition, considering the fact that the Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018) filed by the Petitioner is pending before the Hon'ble Minister for Revenue, it would be appropriate to request the Hon'ble Minister for Revenue to dispose of the Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018), as expeditiously as possible and in any event within four months from the date of receipt of this order.

6.

Parties to maintain status-quo, till the Revision Application

3/3 (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018) filed by the Petitioner is finally decided by the Hon'ble Minister for Revenue.

7.

The Hon'ble Minister for Revenue to consider the Revision Application (R.T.S Appeal No.8144 of 2018) on its own merits, uninfluenced by the status-quo order granted by this Court. 8.

Petition is accordingly disposed of on the aforesaid terms. 9.

All contentions of the parties are kept open. (REVATI MOHITE DERE, J.)
