I am of the view that the appeal requires serious consideration by the second respondent. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader, writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider Ext.P3 and pass orders thereon within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Copy of the writ petition shall also be produced along with the copy of the judgment by the petitioner before the second respondent. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
