The suspension was on the ground of irregularity in the matter of renewal of building permit. The petitioners have now produced Ext.P5 order of the Government whereby the Government has regularized the construction of the building in question. Therefore the petitioners now seek a direction to the respondents to complete the proceedings initiated by the suspension of the petitioners taking into account Ext.P5 order also. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to see that the proceedings initiated by Ext.P4 is completed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. While dosing so, the respondents shall consider the applicability of Ext.P5 also to the case of the petitioners. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
