State through District Magistrate U/s- 6 of the Gunda Control Act, 1970 in the interest of justice." 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned proceeding against the petitioner was initiated in the most mechanical manner. He further submits that the externment order dated 04.12.2024 was passed by Additional District Magistrate, City Ayodhya, which is challenged before Commissioner, Ayodhya Mandal, Ayodhya in an appeal filed u/s 6 of Gunda Control Act, 1970, and the said appeal is already admitted on 08.01.2025. He next submits that interim relief application was rejected with the observation that balance of convenience is not in favour of the petitioner, hence, indulgence of this Court is required. 4. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposes the prayer of the petitioner. However, he does not dispute the fact that the appeal has already been admitted. 5. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and going through the contents of the impugned order as well as other relevant documents, it is evident from the order dated 08.01.2025 that the appeal has already been admitted, but the stay application has been rejected on flimsy ground. Therefore, this petition is partly allowed. 6. Commissioner, Ayodhya Mandal, Ayodhya is directed to expedite final hearing of the appeal. 7. Till disposal of the appeal, the order passed by Additional District Magistrate, City Ayodhya on 04.12.2024 shall remain stayed.
