It is stated that on the applications though the parties were heard on 22.11.2008, so far orders have not been passed by the aforesaid respondent. It is with that complaint the writ petition is filed. 2.

Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ /2/
