If it is not already done, I direct that it will be open to the petitioner to do so, in which event, the request of the petitioner will be considered and in case the authority is not satisfied, proceedings against the petitioner will be initiated and final orders in the matter will be passed without any delay. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
