Pursuant to the appeal, the matter was remanded, but the original authority rejected the petitioner's contention. Now the petitioner has filed Ext.P11 appeal before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also.
