TO JUDGE tss S.SIRI JAGAN,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) Nos.36132 & 36133 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 22nd December,2009 J U D G M E N T The same petitioner has filed these two writ petitions. The grievance of the petitioner in these writ petitions is that the 1st respondent refused to register the petitioner's vehicle on the ground that there are minor alterations in the vehicle. According to the petitioner, in view of Ext.P7 judgment, minor alterations cannot be an objection for registering the vehicle. Against Ext.P5 orders (in both writ petitions) has filed Ext.P6 appeals (in both writ petitions) before the 2nd respondent. Petitioner now confines his relief for a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P6 appeals (in both writ petitions) and pass orders thereon, expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 appeals (in both writ petitions) as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
