For the said purpose, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 application on 30.10.2010. Earlier, the petitioner has also submitted Ext.P2 application dated 1.11.2010 for replacement of the aforesaid vehicle. However, despite the receipt of Ext.P3 application pending decision on Ext.P2 no decision was taken by the respondent on Ext.P3. It is in the said circumstances that this writ petition has been filed. Obviously, under similar circumstances, this Court has directed the concerned authority to consider the application submitted with similar requests, as per Ext.P4 judgment. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Taking into account the facts that Exts.P2 and P3 applications are pending and under similar circumstances this Court has disposed of W.P.(C)No.30128 of 2010 as per Ext.P4 judgment, I am WP(C).No.33950/2010 2 inclined to dispose of this writ petition as hereunder:- The respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 application for clearance certificate, in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
