The 2nd petitioner is one of the retail distributors in Kodungallur Taluk. Their prayer is to direct the Government to revise the rate of commission payable to them. It is stated that on their representation, a commission was appointed and the commission submitted Ext.P2 report. Despite having submitted the report, the 1st respondent has not taken any decision in the matter. Complaining of the above, they have filed Ext.P5 representation. That representation also remains unattended. It is in these circumstances, the writ petition is filed. In the nature of the dispute that is raised, it is essentially a matter of policy and it is for the 1st respondent to decide the matter. 2. Taking note of the case of the petitioner regarding the pendency of Exts. P2 report and Ext.P5 representation, I direct that the 1st respondent shall W.P (C) No. 2926 of 2011 2 consider the claim of the petitioner, in the light of Exts.P2 and P5 and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition.
