- (1.) The only direction sought for in this writ petition is that the appeal filed by the petitioner under Section 35-F of the Central Excise Act on 5.2.1990 should be disposed of expeditiously. We cannot say that the appellate authority has been guilty of unreasonable delay in disposing of the appeal.

The only observation we can make is that the appeal of the petitioner be disposed of expeditiously.
(2.) The writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations.;
