Having regard to the limited nature of the relief that is sought for, without expressing anything on the merits, I dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 in accordance with law and pass orders thereon and communicate the same to the petitioners. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
