In the nature of the order I propose to pass I do not think it necessary to issue notice to respondents 5 and 6. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P8 and P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, provided the same are received and W.P.(c)No.27439/07 2 are pending. Till disposal of Exts.P8 and P9 the implementation of Ext.P7 shall be kept in abeyance. The petitioner as well as respondents 5 and 6 shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard. The petitioner and others would be free to rely on Exts.P3 to P5 judgments or any other material in support of their case. This shall be also considered by the 2nd respondent. S.
