KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.2079 of 2007 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of February , 2008 JUDGMENT The only prayer in this Writ Petition is a direction to the Government for consideration of Ext.P1. It is conceded by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the Government has passed orders after considering Ext.P1. Even though the learned counsel for the petitioner sought time to amend the writ petition by incorporating the ground of challenge against the Government Order, I am not inclined to grant time. The Writ Petition is disposed of on the basis that the prayer has become infructuous, however, without foreclosing the petitioner's remedy of challenging the order passed by the Government. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. dpk
