TO JUDGE tss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) Nos. 17570 & 18206 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 23rd October, 2007 J U D G M E N T In these two writ petitions, the challenge is against Exts. P7 and P6 notices issued requiring the petitioners to vacate the premises held by them. Long before these notices were issued the petitioners had applied for assignment of the plots of land held by them as per Exts. P5 and P4 respectively. 2. It is the complaint of the petitioners that without passing orders in these applications, they are sought to be evicted. Taking into account the pendency of Exts. P5 and P4 applications in these two cases, I dispose of these writ petitions directing that the 2nd respondent shall consider the same as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. In the meanwhile further proceedings pursuant to Exts. P7 and P6 in these cases shall be kept in abeyance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
