It is stated that by Ext.P1 Government Order, it was directed that the work of dredging of ship channel at Azheekal shall be awarded only to Co-operative Societies. According to the petitioner by Ext.P4, the work has been awarded to non functioning Co-operative Societies and award of work to such Societies is in violation of Ext.P1 guidelines. Complaining of this the petitioner made Ext.P5 representation to the first respondent. Ext.P6 postal receipt shows that the representation was delivered to the first respondent on 9.6.2011. 2. In this writ petition the petitioner complains of delay in considering Ext.P5. 3. Since notice on Ext.P5 has been served on the first respondent and as the complaint is regarding the W.P.(C) No. 31344 OF 2011 :2 : alleged violation of Ext.P1 order, I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 with notice to the parties concerned and as expeditiously as possible at any rate within eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/-
