W.P.(C)s.11827 & 11697/2011 ....................... Dated this the 11th day of April, 2011 JUDGMENT The prayers of the petitioners in both these writ petitions are similar and hence they are dealt with together. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the application preferred by the petitioners for issuance of solvency certificate has not been properly dealt with by the concerned respondents. To the knowledge of the petitioners, the only impediment in finalising the proceedings is stated as the 'election' to the Legislative Assembly declared in the meanwhile. 3. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well, who submits that the matter will be finalised within a week, after the election scheduled to be held on 13.4.2011. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the application was preferred as early as on 28.3.2011 and by virtue of the mandate under the Rule position, solvency certificate has necessarily to be issued within one week. In any view of the W.P.(C)s.11827 & 11697/2011 2 matter, there is no dispute with regard to the election scheduled on 13.4.2011. In the above circumstances, taking note of the urgency pointed out by the learned counsel that the certificate has to be produced before the concerned authority on 17.4.2011 and also after taking note of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader that the only working day after the election on 13.4.2011, is 16.4.2011, the third respondent is directed to consider and issue necessary certificates to the petitioners in accordance with law, on or before 18.4.2011. 4. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with the copy of the concerned writ petition before the third respondent forthwith for taking further steps. Writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, Judge mrcs
