(ii) To issue a writ of mandamus commanding the respondents 1, 2 and 3 to permit the petitioners to continue in service of the 3rd respondent and also to declare that Ext.P5 resignation is not a valid resignation and that the petitioners are not bound by it and that they are still deemed to be in service and are entitled for wages and also to direct the third respondent to pay wages. (iii) To issue a writ of mandamus commanding the respondents 1 and 2 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P13.” Since the petitioners have invoked the jurisdiction of the second respondent, there will be a direction to the second respondent to look into Ext.P13 with notice to the petitioners and the third respondent and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, if not already passed, within three months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
