Heard Mr.P.Sugumar, learned counsel appearing for the

¶33

petitioners and Mr.Yogesh Kannadasan, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 4.

¶34

Learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that, enquiry has already been commenced, it seems to be that the private respondents sought for time to appear, therefore after hearing the petitioner as well as the private respondents, orders would be passed by the second respondent.

¶35

Considering the said submission made by the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents, this Court is inclined to dispose of this writ petition with the following order:

¶36

That the said application submitted by the petitioner dated 12.07.2021 shall be considered and decided by the second respondent on merits and in accordance with law after giving an opportunity of being heard to both the petitioner as well as the private respondents herein within a period of eight(8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
