Petitioner submits that on being selected for participation in the above event, they had deposited an amount of Rs.35,019/- towards the rental for allotment of space.

Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to take note of Ext.P8 and pass appropriate orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
