In terms of the directions issued as per Ext.P2 the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3. Ext.P3 has been submitted as early as on 27.8.2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the submission of Ext.P3 as directed vide Ext.P2 no decision has so far been taken. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader.
