The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent is not passing any appropriate orders on the declaration filed by the petitioner for authentication of the same. It appears that the petitioner is running the weekly newspaper and subsequently, the address of the newspaper had been changed and the same was informed to the respondent. But on the ground that the petitioner did not file the declaration regarding the change of place of printing, the respondent issued a notice-dated 12.1.2005, directing the petitioner to be present on 17.1.2005. Pursuant to the same, some litigation also took place before this court and also before the Pres and Registration Appellate Board and certain directions were also given. Later on, it appears, the petitioner filed a declaration before the respondent and the same is still pending consideration. In view of the same, the Writ Petition is closed, with a direction to the respondent to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and inform the same to the petitioner. _________________ D.S.R.
