The learned Government Pleader submits that the appeals have been disposed of remanding the matters to the third respondent for fresh consideration in accordance with law and therefore , this writ petition has become infructuous. However, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the third respondent is not taking steps to dispose of the matter after remand. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the third respondent to take appropriate action in the matter as directed w.p.c.23232/07 2 by the appellate authority, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
