Petitioners Versus State of Maharashtra and Anr. ... Respondents. Dr. Virendra V. Tulzapurkar, Senior Advocate, with Ms. Sowmya Srikrishna and Mr. Prashand Beri, instructed by M/s.

DATE: OCTOBER 03, 2005. P.C. The petitioner has preferred this petition with a prayer that the respondents be directed to consider the application filed by the petitioner for the grant of final eligibility certificate in accordance with law. 2. The case of the petitioners is that they have applied on 7th March, 2005, to respondent No.1 along with the required documents and proofs for issuance of eligibility certificate under the New Tourism -2- Policy-2000. Thereafter two reminders have also been sent on 8th April, 2005 and 9th September, 2005. Despite sending two reminders, the respondents have not cared to consider the petitioners' application. The prayer of the petitioners seems to be reasonable. Consequently, we direct respondent No.2 to decide the petitioners' application as expeditiously as possible, and, in any event, within four weeks from the date of receipt of the order. No further directions are necessary. This petition is accordingly disposed of. CHIEF JUSTICE S.J. VAZIFDAR, J.
