ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 16878 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T Grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent has declined to accept Exts.P1 to P3 applications submitted by the petitioner for obtaining passports. It is therefore this writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the respondent to consider the said applications and to take action on a time bound basis. 2. The Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent informs me that the applications were defective and therefore were returned to the petitioner for resubmitting it after curing the defects. 3. In the light of the submissions made, the only order that is required is that it will be open to the petitioners to cure the defects in the applications and resubmit the same and in which event it will be dealt with in accordance with law by the respondent as expeditiously as possible. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/-
