Since there was no response from the respondent, he filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the respondent to consider and dispose of the application dated 20.8.2007 made by him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Though the writ petition was admitted on 31.12.2007 and notice was issued to the respondent, no counter affidavit is filed so far. However, both the learned counsel agreed to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the authority to consider and dispose of the application of the petitioner.
