The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Board submits that the respondents are not sure whether Ext.P4 has been received or not. 3. Having considered the rival contentions, I direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's claim for one time settlement on the basis of Ext.P4 as it appears in the writ petition and pass appropriate orders expeditiously, at any rate before the end of this month since the counsel appearing for the Board submits that the O.T.S.Scheme would be in force till 30.6.2007. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. S.SIRI JAGAN, Judge Mbs/
