It is pointed out that among Exts.P11 series of representations, Ext.P11 to P11(5), P11(7), P11(9), P11(11) to P11(14) are pending before the 3rd respondent and that Exts.P11(6), WP(C) No.24680/2010 -2- P11(8) & P11(10) are pending before respondents 2, 4 & 5 respectively. Having regard to the pendency of the representations as noticed above, it is directed that respondents 2 to 5 shall consider the representations made by the petitioners and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition.
