Cont.P.(MD) No.315 of 2015. It is the further case of the petitioner that though initially the 2nd respondent, vide a communication dated 12.08.2015 informed the petitioner that the records relating to the lease order (Kattu Kuthagai) in TRA No.7 of 2001 could not be traced, later the same was produced before this Court in the month of July, 2017, pursuant to which, the contempt petition was closed.

4. At this juncture, the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that if a reasonable time is granted to the respondents, the representation of the petitioner will be considered and suitable orders passed.

5. In view of the above submission, this Court, without going into the merits of the matter, directs the second respondent to dispose of the petitioner's representation dated 14.06.2017 by completing the enquiry as expeditiously as possible, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
