Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. 3. Considering the fact that the matter has already been heard pursuant to Ext.P5 notice, the second respondent is directed to pass final orders on Ext.P2 appeal in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is made clear that, till appropriate orders are passed on Ext.P2, the coercive proceedings stated as being pursued against the petitioner, pursuant to Ext.P6, shall be kept in abeyance. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. P. R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE kmd
