RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = WP(C).No.22730 of 2007-E = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 16th day of August, 2007. JUDGMENT The complaint of the petitioner is that follow up action is not being taken on Ext.P1 on the ground that the choice made by the Government while conferring dealership on the petitioner is under challenge in WP(C).No.17655/2006. The mere pendency of WP(C).No.17655/2006 need not deter further action in terms of Ext.P1 in WP(C).No.22730/2007, though those proceedings would be regulated by any interim order issued in WP(C).No.17655/2006. I do not find that the petitioner in WP(C).No.17655/2006 has obtained any interim order. In the aforesaid circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing that further action following Ext.P1 WP(C)22730/07 -: 2 :- shall be taken by the second respondent in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within an outer limit of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
