Petitioner submits that Exts. P4 and P5 reports have been made by respondents 4 and 5. According to him, despite all these the 3rd respondent is not considering Ext.P2 or passing orders thereon. It is in this background this writ petition has been filed. 2. In view of the pendency of Ext.P2, I feel that the 3rd respondent should pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible. 3. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 3rd respondent shall pass orders on Ext.P2 on merits taking into account Ext.P1 circular and Exts. P4 and P5 reports. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible at any rate before 14/3/2008 since the grant extended by the Panchayat will be WPC 6893/08 :2 : expiring on 15/3/2008. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
