It is stated that urging this complaint, they have also moved the 2nd respondent by filing Ext.P10 and that even on Ext.P10, there has not been any response. It is in these circumstances, the writ petition has been filed. 2. Taking into account the above, I feel at this stage, the grievance of the petitioners can be redressed, if a decision on Ext.P10 is taken by the 2nd respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
