To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................................................... W.P.(C).22848/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 23rd day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT According to the petitioner, seeking deletion of her divorced husband's name from her passport, she made Ext.P1 application dated 13.8.2011 to the first respondent. However, orders have not been passed so far and that led the petitioner to file this writ petition. Petitioner submits that the issue is fully covered in her favour by the judgment reported in Abdul Khader Nissar v. Passport Officer (2009 (3) KLT 180). 2. Irrespective of the contentions on merits, if Ext.P1 application stated to have been made before the first respondent is pending, without expressing anything on the merits, I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 application and pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
