The 2nd respondent remanded the matter to the original authority by Ext.P1 order which was confirmed by the 1st respondent by Ext.P2. Petitioner's grievance is that in spite of the fact that Ext.P2 was passed as early as on 30.03.1987, the proceedings have not been concluded by the 3rd respondent. Heard Government Pleader also. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to pass final orders on Ext.P1 after hearing both sides as early as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
