STU ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 29057 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T Ext.P5 is an application made by the petitioner before the 2nd respondent for dealer's license. Orders were not passed on Ext.P5 and the petitioner alleges that such inaction is for the reason that the first respondent has directed that orders shall not be passed on applications such as Ext.P5. As 2nd respondent is the statutory authority to consider Ext.P5, he cannot be forbidden by the first respondent or any other authority from exercising his legal powers. Therefore even if any such orders are issued, such orders cannot be enforced. Therefore I dispose of the writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 in accordance with law and as expeditiously as possible at any rate within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
