O R D E R

The limited prayer sought for in the writ petition is seeking a direction to the second respondent to forward the petitioner's application dated 18.07.2013, for issuance of no objection certificate, to the first respondent

2. It is the grievances of the petitioner that though he has given an application on 18.07.2013 to the second respondent, no orders have been passed on the same. Since the in-action of the respondents amounts to dereliction of duty on the part of the second respondent, the petitioner had filed the present writ petition.

3. In view of the limited prayer sought for, without going into the merits of the application given by the petitioner, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the petitioner's application dated 18.07.2013, on its own merits and pass orders in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order.

4. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
