TO JUDGE. svs ANTONY DOMINIC, J --------------------------------------- W.P(C) No.6377 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of July, 2011. J U D G M E N T Grievance highlighted in the writ petition is that the application for the gun licence made by the 2nd petitioner, who is the son of the 1st petitioner, is still kept pending before the 1st respondent, even after lapse of almost two years. 2. There is no averment in the counter affidavit that final order has been passed on the application or that such orders have been communicated to the petitioners. Thus it is obvious that the application is pending and therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider the application and pass orders thereon. 3. This shall be done with notice to the petitioners and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ab ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE 2
