I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel. Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that though the period taken should have been six months, twelve months is taken. Learned Standing Counsel points out that the minimum period to be taken is twelve months and therefore it is correctly done.

In such circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of as follows: If the petitioner represents before the third respondent regarding his complaint that Ext.P5 is issued in violation of Ext.P4 order, the third respondent will look into it and take a decision within two weeks from the date of receipt of such representation. Proceedings on the basis of Ext.P5 will be kept in abeyance for a period of one month from today. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
