The High Level Committee upon receiving Ext.P7 from the second respondent will issue hearing notice to the petitioner, hear him and then take correct decision in the light of the various grounds raised in the writ petition and the submissions to be made during hearing. Needful in compliance with the above directions will be done by the second respondent at the earliest and at any rate within two weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment. The High level Committee will take decision as directed above within two months thereafter. Considering the above directions, the status quo will be maintained as obtaining today regarding the properties of the petitioner till such time as the High Level Committee takes decision on Ext.P7.
