Therefore, Ext.P8 is quashed. There will be a direction to the first respondent to do the needful in the light of Ext.P4. Petitioner will make available a copy of this judgment and the judgment in W.A.1948/08 to the first respondent within a period of three weeks from today and the first respondent will do WP(C) NO.19767/09 2 the needful within two weeks thereafter.
