I have heard Sri P.V.Ramana, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Forests. In view of the fact that the application filed by the petitioner is pending before respondent No.1, there can be no justification for the said respondent in not disposing the petitioner’s application despite lapse of more than 1 ½ years. Under these circumstances, respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the application and communicate the order to the petitioner, if not already done, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.7609 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
