P5. If Ext. P5 has been filed by the petitioner and the same has already been received by the District Collector, I see no justification for declining the relief sought for by the petitioner. In view of this, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall take up for consideration Ext. P5 and pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. 2. Counsel for the 2nd respondent submits that this order shall not stand in the way of the 2nd respondent carrying out the directions contained in Ext. P4 judgment, which directed disposal of the appeal filed by the 2nd respondent. Since this Court has not directed that the decision on Ext. P5 should be clubbed with the WPC No. 38147/07 -2- issue to be adjudicated in Ext. P4, I see no justification for the apprehension now raised by the 2nd respondent. The District Collector shall carry out the directions in Ext. P4 without awaiting for the conclusion on Ext. P5. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
