forward to file the Writ Petitions seeking appropriate direction upon the respondent to issue the community certificate. 2.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that though the petitioners have sought for such a larger relief, it would be suffice if the pending applications are directed to be disposed of by the respondent in a time bound manner.
