JUDGMENT

¶14

Amidst the various allegations, averments and assertions made and urged in this writ petition, all which the petitioner requires is that the competent Authority of the second respondent be directed to take up and dispose of Ext.P3 application made by him, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.

¶15

Sri.Mohan Jacob George – learned standing counsel for the Bank, submitted that if the petitioner only requires Ext.P3 to be taken up and disposed of by the second respondent, there does not appear to be any legal impediment in doing so; however, praying that this Court may not make any affirmative declarations and leave it to the said Authority to take an apposite decision, as per law.

¶16

In the afore circumstances, I allow this writ petition and direct the competent Authority of the second respondent to take up Ext.P3 representation of the petitioner and dispose it of, after affording an opportunity of being heard to him, thus culminating in an appropriate order and necessary action thereon, as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment
