J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims to be an association of persons who have been evicted from the land acquired for establishment of the Cochin Refineries Ltd. Their grievance in this writ petition is that flouting the agreement between the management and the association earlier, the management is now giving plum employment to persons of their choice belonging to a trade union owing allegiance to the party in power. Detailing these grievances, the petitioner has filed Ext. P4 representation before the Deputy General Manager (S & OM) of the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the 2nd respondent also. 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. P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
