According to him, timing conference has not been held so far. In the meantime, petitioner submitted Ext.P3 application for temporary permit and that also is pending without orders. 2. Learned Government pleader submits that since a vigilance investigation is going on, files concerning Ext.P1 are not available with the authority. It was therefore that there is delay in convening the timing conference. If that be so, the respondent cannot be accused of any delay in convening timing conference. But however, that does not mean that Ext.P3 application for temporary permit should be kept pending without orders. WPC No.36016/07 :2 : Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 2 nd respondent shall take up and consider Ext.P3 application made by the petitioner for temporary permit. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE. Rp
