JUDGMENT
The petitioner has preferred Ext.P5 against Ext.P2 before the first respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no orders have been passed on the same so far and seeks a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the same.
Accordingly, there will be a direction to the first respondent to take up Ext.P5 and pass orders in accordance with law, with notice to the petitioner and other affected parties, if any within an outer time limit of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It will be open to the petitioner to produce all the documents to substantiate the contentions, which will be considered by the first respondent while considering the revision.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
