In the light of this, I feel that there is no need to consider the challenge to the orders passed by the authorities imposing penalty on the petitioner. The only direction that needs to be given is if the petitioner has filed the application in time, a decision will be taken on the same in accordance with law within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Recovery will be kept in abeyance till orders are passed. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
