Although several contentions have been raised by the petitioner against the invalidity of Ext.P3 order, having regard to the pendency of Ext.P6, I am satisfied that at least for the present the grievance of the petitioner will be redressed, if the 3rd respondent consider Ext.P6. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6. This shall be done with notice to the petitioner and as expeditiously as possible WPC.No.20085 /2010 :2 : and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
