application for stay is rejected. Pertinent to note that the main Revision Application is still pending consideration and the further contentions of the petitioner about absence of encroachment on government land could be considered in the pending revision application before the Additional Commissioner.

¶18

Having regard to the limited controversy being a challenge to the interim order passed by the Additional Commissioner, it is desirable that the Divisional Commissioner is directed to decide the revision application expeditiously.

¶19

Hence, the writ petition is not entertained. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.1 – Divisional Commissioner, Amravati to decide the Revision Application expeditiously. All contentions on merits are kept open. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
