We have directed the learned Government Pleader to get instructions as to whether the Government has passed any order in pursuance of the directions issued by the Tribunal, but the learned Government Pleader says that no such order has been passed. 4. We do not find any reason for not passing any such order when specific time was fixed in the order of the Tribunal. However, keeping in view the facts and circumstances, we direct the Government to pass appropriate orders as directed by the Tribunal within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5.
