According to the petitioner, although by Ext.P2 the concerned Executive Engineer has reported that the same is not fit for heavy vehicular traffic, respondents 1 and 2 are not taking any steps to prohibit the traffic of heavy vehicles through the road and they are also not taking steps to repair the road. Detailing his grievances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 petition before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to dispose of Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording an W.P.(c)No.14221/08 2 opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as to any other persons who may be interested in the matter. The petitioner shall produce a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 1st respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.
