Instead of disposing it of, the official respondents have placed on record a counter affidavit essentially pointing out that in terms of the objections of the Public Works Department, there could be no assignment. Having regard to the fact that the proceedings are statutory in nature, it is ordered that the competent authority will take up Ext.P3 and orders issued in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner. Let this be done within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. It is clarified that nothing is expressed on merits.
