If such an application is submitted by the petitioner before the second respondent within two weeks from today, the second respondent will consider Circular No. B1-2815/2007 dated 7.11.2007 issued by the Chief Registrar and take a decision. Decision will be taken at the earliest and at any rate within three weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE JUDGE dpk
