As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the appeal, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 3rd respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal, dated 13.10.2020 along with the Interlocutory Application preferred by the petitioner before the 3rd respondent, after providing 1 2019 (8) SCALE 544 4 opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned, within a period of four (04) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
