Since more than 10 months have elapsed since Ext.P1 order was issued, there is no reason why Exts.P4 to P7 are not taken up and decided by the first respondent. Under these circumstances, this Writ Petition will stand disposed with a direction to the first respondent to take up Exts.P4 to P7 immediately, hear the petitioners and take a correct and just decision on Exts.P4 to P7 at the earliest and at any rate within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment together with a copy of the Writ Petition and all the exhibits. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
