Since Ext.P11 is pending before the third respondent, without making any observations as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent to consider and pass orders on W.P.(C) NO.15340/2010 2 Ext.P11 representation submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
