Mr.B.Suresh Kumar, counsel for the petitioner points out on the basis of Exts.P3 and P4 that the appeals preferred by the Government have now been finally disposed of. Since Exts.P3 and P4 shows that appeals against Ext.P1 have been disposed of, pendency of appeals cannot be a valid ground for not considering Ext.P2. Under these circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of issuing the following directions: The petitioner will produce certified copies of Exts.P3 and P4 before the third respondent at her earliest. Once certified copies are filed by the petitioner, the third respondent will take up Ext.P2, enquire into the same in accordance with law and dispose of the same at the earliest and at any rate within one month of receiving copies of Exts.P3 and P4. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
