He is relying on Exts.P2 to P7 documents in support of his title. In view of this, petitioner submitted Ext.P8 application for rectification of the mistake. 2. Ext.P8 itself shows that the Deputy Director, Survey and the Survey Superintendent have directed its consideration. The complaint is that the 3rd respondent is not acting upon Ext.P8 despite the recommendation therein. 3. Now that Ext.P8 is pending with the 3rd respondent, there is no justification for the 3rd respondent to delay the matter any further. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 3rd respondent shall take action on Ext.P8, as WPC 31480/07 : 2 : expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
