If as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P10 has been received and is pending before the 1st respondent, it is necessary that the 1st respondent shall pass orders thereon. But however, any such order shall only be with notice to respondents 2 and 3. Orders on Ext.P10 shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
