P2 is an application made to the 2nd respondent for the issue of a legal heirship certificate. Following Ext. P2, an enquiry was conducted by the 3rd respondent and Ext. P3 report has been made. Despite Ext. P3 report made by the 3rd respondent, further orders have not been passed on Ext. P2 application submitted by the petitioner, complains the learned counsel for the writ petitioner. 2. Now that an enquiry has been made into the request of the petitioner through the 3rd respondent and Ext. P3 report also has been made, there is no justification for the continued delay in the matter. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider the request made by the petitioner for legal heirship certificate as per Ext. P2, taking into account the Ext. P3 report as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within six weeks of the receipt of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
