They have filed Ext.P2 (in both the writ petitions) before the second respondent. The contention of the petitioners is that although the statute prescribes that such applications should be disposed of within 60 days, the same has not yet been disposed of. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the standing counsel appearing for the second respondent and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent. After hearing all concerned, I feel it only appropriate that the second respondent disposes all the applications (Ext.P2 in both the writ petitions) expeditiously. This the second respondent shall do within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a W.P.(C)Nos.10208&10167/2007 :2: copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
