2. The limited prayer sought for is for a direction to the second respondent to dispose of the petitioner's appeal dated 20.06.2016, pending on the file of the second respondent in Omu.Aa 4/2680/2016.
3. The learned Counsel for the respondents submitted that in view of the pendency of appeals, considerable time could be taken to dispose of the same and that the appeals are being taken up for consideration as per seniority. As such, in my view, the time limit of eight weeks could be reasonable for the second respondent to consider the petitioner's appeal.
4. In the result, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the petitioner's appeal dated 20.06.2016, https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
