Revision pending on penalty orders: Court directs speedy disposal and keeps impugned orders in abeyance until revision is decided.

Where a prima facie case was found, the Court required the revisional authority to secure an expeditious decision on the revision petitions rather than leave the penalty orders fully operative during the pendency. The challenge was confined to the condition requiring deposit of 50% of the penalty, and the Court balanced interim protection with preservation of the impugned orders' efficacy by directing that the revisions be disposed of within three months. The impugned orders were to remain in abeyance until such disposal.

Issues: Whether the revisional authority should keep the penalty orders in abeyance pending revision when a prima facie case was found, and whether the writ appeals should be disposed of by expediting the revisions.

Analysis: The challenge was confined to the condition requiring deposit of 50% of the penalty during the pendency of the revisions. The Court noted that the authorities had found a prima facie case, and that the appropriate course was to secure an expeditious disposal of the revision petitions while preserving the efficacy of the impugned orders in the meantime.

Outcome: The revision petitions were directed to be disposed of within three months, and the impugned orders were ordered to remain in abeyance until such disposal.
