Learned AGP waives notice for respondent Nos.1 to 4. Upon instructions from the office of respondent No.2, he submits that notices in respect of appeals are not yet issued and those notices are required to be issued and, therefore, appeal dated 20.08.2025 and appeal dated 12.11.2025 would be decided within a period of four months from today. 3.

Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the term of the petitioner is remaining for four months and, therefore, he requests that [2]

the direction should be given for expeditious disposal of the appeals or the stay application might be then heard.

4.

In view of the statement that the notices are yet to be issued and taking into consideration the period left with the petitioner, we direct respondent No.2, before whom the appeals are pending, to decide those appeals within a period of three months from today and if respondent No.2 feels that it cannot be decided within that period, then he should atleast consider the stay applications and decide them on merits after hearing the parties within a period of two months from today. 5.

With these directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. [ HITEN S. VENEGAVKAR ] [ SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI ] JUDGE JUDGE scm [3]
