3. It is submitted that such appeal was filed by the petitioner herein way back on 15.11.2021 and is yet not decided.
4. Learned counsel for respondent-DDA appears on advance notice and admits that aforesaid appeal is still pending adjudication.
5. He, however, submits that it could not be decided as the petitioner did not appear before the Appellate Authority. It is submitted that let the petitioner appear before the Appellate Authority within two weeks and such W.P.(C) 16327/2024 2 appeal shall be decided within a period of six weeks to be reckoned from the date he appears before the Appellate Authority.
6. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that within a period of two weeks from today, the petitioner would positively appear before the Appellate Authority.
