The case has been disposed of on 20.7.1992. 2. Learned Senior counsel for the petitioners seeks for a similar relief to be granted. 3. As ordered, the petitioners are at liberty to approach the CWP No.4639 of 1990 -2- competent authority to take a decision on the rent that is required to be fixed. It could be done through a representation that could be filed within 2 weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order and the authority will take the decision within 4 weeks from thereon, if a decision has already not been taken as regards the rent payable for the property for all the periods covered through the writ petition. 4. The writ petition is disposed of as above. April 28, 2011 (K.KANNAN) Gulati JUDGE
