That request was rejected by the Government by Ext.P9 order. The petitioner has now filed Ext.P10 review petition before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
