In the circumstances pointed out, the writ petition is disposed of directing that if Ext.P6 has been received and is pending, the first respondent shall pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition.
