Feeling aggrieved by the assessment in respect of the building concerned the petitioners have preferred Exts.P17 and P18 objections before the 3rd respondent. Ext.P17 is dated 23.9.2010 and Ext.P18 is dated 1.10.2010. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite the receipt of Exts.P17 and P18 the competent authority viz, the 3rd respondent has not taken up the matter for hearing and they are still pending consideration. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Standing Counsel. The respondents did not refute the contention of the petitioner that Exts.P17 and P18 are still pending consideration before the 3rd respondent. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition as also in Exts.P17 and P18 , this writ petition is disposed of with a WPC.5989/11 : 2 : direction to the 3rd respondent to consider Exts.P17 and P18 representations submitted by the petitioner against the assessment and pass orders thereon, strictly adhering to the proceedings prescribed under the Act. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Sd/- (C.T.
