KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 20914 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of July , 2008 JUDGMENT The learned Government Pleader Sri.Basanth Balaji takes notice for the respondents. Though the Government Pleader sought time to get instructions, since Exts.P3 and P2 will show that the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the hearing is already over on the application under Section 28A is highly probable, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition at this stage itself issuing the following directions; 2. The second respondent will pass award on the applications under Section 28A submitted by the petitioners (regarding which hearing was conducted pursuant to Exts.P2 and P3) at his earliest and at any rate within four months of receiving a copy of this judgment. Once award is passed, the same will be communicated to the petitioners without delay. The writ petition is disposed of as above. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE dpk
