Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 petition, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners. The petitioners would be free to rely on Ext.P3 report or any other material in support of their case. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 3rd respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
