According to the petitioners, orders have been issued by the 1st respondent fixing stipend for those students who are undergoing internship in the Government Nursing Colleges. However, orders governing the students like the petitioners have not been issued so far.

Taking note of the above grievance, this writ petition is disposed of directing that if Ext.P3 has been received and is pending, orders thereon shall be passed. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months of production of a copy of this judgment. WP(C) No.11100/2009 -2- 3.
