4. As it is seen that several enquiry notices were issued periodically by the first respondent and however the said appeal filed as early as on 19.01.2011 is not yet disposed of, without expressing any view on the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of only by directing the first respondent to dispose of the said appeal on its own merits and in accordance with law after hearing the petitioner as well as other interested parties/ rival claimants within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, provided the said appeal is still pending and not yet disposed of. No costs.
