Sivankutty Pillai is no more. The petitioner would contend that as legal heir of late Sivankutty Pillai, the petitioner is entitled to be given temporary license as well as regular license in view of clause 45 (2) of the Kerala Rationing Order. Petitioner has made a claim for the same. As evidenced by Ext.P2, the same has been received and the petitioner has been directed to appear before the District Supply Officer on 10.08.2009. Petitioner's grievance is that no orders have been passed pursuant to Ext.P2 yet. 2. Having heard the learned Government Pleader, I am of opinion that having initiated proceedings as evidenced by Ext.P2, the 2nd respondent is bound to take the W.P.(C)No. 15891 of 2010 -2- matter to its logical conclusion as per law expeditiously. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to complete the proceedings initiated by Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
