It goes without saying that there is a duty cast upon the first respondent to dispose of a reference which is pending with it for the last 19 years. Therefore, I direct the first respondent to give a priority to R.C.1/1988 and dispose it of in accordance with law, after hearing all concerned, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. With the above direction, writ petition is disposed of. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/-
