4. To this prayer being made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned counsel for the Respondent-State does not have any objection.

The entire exercise must be completed within a period of six months from the date of production of a copy of this order by the petitioners. Needless to emphasize that the final order which shall be passed by the Respondent No. 1 should be a reasoned and speaking order.

6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the present writ application is disposed of. All pending Interlocutory Applications, if any, will stand disposed of. (Alok Kumar Sinha, J) Gaurav Sinha/- U
