Keeping in view the innocuous prayer made in the present petition, the appellate authority is directed to consider and decide the appeal dated 09.01.2023 (Annexure P-3), in accordance with law, by passing a speaking order as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.

Till the appeal is finally decided, no further recovery shall be effected from the petitioner.

The petition stands disposed off.
