When this Writ Petition came up for admission today, Mr.D.Anilkumar, Senior Govt. Pleader took notice on behalf of the respondent. I have heard Mr.Binoy Vasudevan, counsel for the petitioner and Mr.D.Anilkumar, Senior Govt. Pleader. 3. It is clear from Exts.P2 and P4 acknowledgment cards that the petitioner had submitted Exts.P1 and P3. Under these circumstances, I dispose of the Writ Petition issuing the following directions: If Exts.P1 and P3 have not yet been finally disposed of, the respondent will hold all necessary enquiries into Exts.P1 and P3 and pass awards on Exts.P1 and P3 at his earliest and at any rate within W.P.C.No.24522/08 - 2 - three months of receiving copy of this judgment. If it is seen that Exts.P1 and P3 have already been disposed of, the respondent will communicate the decision to the petitioner within two months of receiving copy of this judgment. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
