In such circumstances, the petitioners have to pursue that remedy which has already been invoked. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st w.p.c.7033/07 2 respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 appeal filed by the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with the certified copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. Needless to say, the petitioners would be afforded an opportunity of being heard before final disposal of the appeal as also the 3rd respondent.
