The petitioners seek disposal of Exts.P3 to P7 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P3 to P7 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners as well as those who may be affected by orders favourable to the petitioners on Exts. P3 to P7. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. mns
