By virtue of the said order, the matter was remitted back to the file of the third respondent for fresh disposal.
3.The grievance of the petitioners is that the third respondent did not come forward to hold any enquiry inspite of several representations made by the petitioners and other assignees. Left with no other option, these writ petitions have been filed seeking for appropriate directions.
