In view of the above, without issuing notice of motion as it will un-necessary delay the matter, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents No.3 and 4 to consider and decide the legal notice dated 9.7.2009 (Annexure P-2) in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months.
