THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. .......................................................... W.P.(C)No.29370 OF 2007 ........................................................... DATED THIS THE 4TH OCTOBER, 2007 J U D G M E N T Sri.S.Ramesh Babu takes notice on behalf of the 2nd respondent. Sri.K.J.Mohammed Anzar, Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the 1st respondent. In the nature of the order which is being passed herein, it is not necessary to issue notice to the 3rd respondent. 2. The petitioner seems to have a genuine grievance. The Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions under Ext.P7 order directed the 2nd respondent to take a fresh decision on the issue within 30 days of getting copy of Ext.P7 order. The grievance is that though about two years have elapsed since copy of Ext.P7 was served on the 2nd respondent, no orders have been passed. The petitioner has filed Ext.P8 inviting the 2nd respondent's notice to Ext.P7 and requesting for early orders. I dispose of the Writ Petition issuing the following directions:- The 2nd respondent will take up Ext.P8 immediately and pass fresh orders as directed in Ext.P7 order of the Tribunal at the earliest, after hearing the petitioner and the 3rd respondent. In any event, WP(C)N0.29370/07 -2- final orders implementing the directions in Ext.P7 shall be passed by the 2nd respondent within one month of receiving copy of this judgment.
