P2 application for replacement of his vehicle and also Ext. P4 application for temporary permit. He was issued temporary permit as per Ext. P3 which was valid till 11.6.2008. It is thereupon he filed Ext. P4 which is also remaining without orders. 2. Learned Govt. Pleader submits that Ext. P2 could not be considered as the petitioner has not produced a current insurance policy. 3. Now that the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 it is for the respondent to consider and pass orders thereon. If there is any inadequacy in the application that is a matter which the respondent has to take note of while orders are passed. That apart, until orders are passed Ext. P4 also deserves to be considered. 4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing that on the production of a copy of this judgment, within 10 days W.P.(C) No.16096 OF 2008 - 2 - thereafter orders shall be passed on Ext. P4. It is also directed that in the meanwhile, final orders on Ext. P2 will also be passed in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
