On such representation being submitted, the respondents shall consider the same as per the rules and instructions issued from time to time and pass appropriate orders as per law, within a period of four weeks thereafter, and communicate the same to the petitioners. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 15th November, 2008. IBL
