The grievances of the petitioner are highlighted in Ext.P2. Essentially, the matter calls for a settlement of disputes by negotiation. It is, therefore, appropriate that the second respondent hears the petitioner. Hence, the secretary of the second respondent is directed to hear on Ext.P2 and take decision, if necessary, in consultation with respondents 3 and 4. Let the needful follow within an outer limit of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is ordered accordingly.
