3.Since the petitioner's grievance has been redressed, no further orders are required to the prayer sought for in the Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands closed with a direction to the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to expedite the proceedings and complete the same within the time stipulated, after following the statutory procedure laid down for completion of such proceedings. No costs.
