TO JUDGE tss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 10360 OF 2008 G = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 3rd June 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he has filed Ext. P1 before the 1st respondent seeking parity of timing with the service of the 2nd respondent. It is stated that in pursuance to the application made he was called for a personal hearing by Ext. P2. Though the petitioner appeared for personal hearing orders were not passed and the petitioner submits that he has sent reminders which also did not evoke any response from the authority. In view of this the writ petition has been filed. 2. Learned Govt. Pleader, on instruction, submits that they are awaiting a report from the RTO, Malappuram and that on receipt of the report final orders on Ext. P1 will be passed. 3. It may be true that receipt of the report as stated by the learned Govt. Pleader is necessary for passing orders on Ext. P1, but that cannot be a reason for deferring Ext. P1 indefinitely. 4. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that W.P.(C) No. 10360 OF 2008 -2- final orders on Ext. P1 should be passed by the 1st respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
