According to them, they sought assignment of the land by Exhibits P3,P4 and P5 which are pending before the 3rd respondent.

Taking into account above grievance of the writ petitioners, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibits P3 to P5 with notice to the petitioners. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within eight weeks of production of copy of this judgment. It is also directed that in the meanwhile, Status quo ordered by this Court on 21/07/2008 and extended thereafter will be in force for two months. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
