Apparently petitioner's husband himself had made such request which was directed to be considered by this Court under Ext.P4 judgment. There is no reason why a decision, as sought for by the petitioner's husband, has not been taken by this time. 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to take a decision on Ext.P5, keeping in mind Ext.P4 judgment and the request made by the fifth respondent which led to Ext.P4 judgment, within a period W.P.(C).29187/2007 2 of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
