TO JUDGE Prv. ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 11305 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a film producer. It appears that availing of financial assistance from respondents 1 to 3, he has produced a film by name “Swapnamalika”. The film was processed in the lab of the 4th respondent. The arrangement between the petitioner, respondents 1 to 3 and the 4th respondent is that only with the clearance of respondents 1 to 3 the film will be released by the 4th respondent to the petitioner for exhibition in the theaters. Such clearance was not granted and that led the petitioner to file this writ petition praying to direct respondents 1 to 3 to permit the petitioner to get the film released from the 4th respondent. 2. Respondents 1 to 3 have filed a counter affidavit disputing the claim of the petitioner. When the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned senior counsel appearing W.P.(C) No. 11305 OF 2011 :2 : for the petitioner, confined his prayer for a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P6 representation made by the petitioner. 3. However, a perusal of Ext.P6 representation shows that this representation is addressed to one Mr.J.F.Alapatt, Deputy General Manager of the first respondent. Since what is now sought for by the petitioner is a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the claim and as Ext.P6 is not addressed to the said officer, it is directed that the petitioner should make available a copy of the said representation to the 2nd respondent, in which event the same will be considered and orders thereon will be passed by the 2nd respondent as expeditiously as possible at any rate within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 4. The petitioner shall also produce a copy of this writ petition for the perusal of the 2nd respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
