Pleader points out that the application has to be made under Rule 12 of the Kerala Forest Produce Transit Rules, 1975. Since Ext.

It is also directed that such orders shall be passed within 4 weeks of receipt of the application from the petitioner. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
