Though he has submitted an application for the above purpose, no action has been taken thereon till date. The learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to the issue of necessary directions for expediting matters. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P1 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
