In the above circumstances, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of the pending claims as highlighted in this writ application, petitioners propose to file representation giving specifically the unpaid claims before the respondent no.4 In case such claims are put up before the respondent no.4 within a period of six weeks from today, the same shall be considered in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation containing all the claims. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
