Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall consider the application, which is acknowledged by Ext.P6 and pass orders thereon with notice to the petitioner and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this WPC 20313/08 :2 : judgment.
