3.The petitioners were the shop owners of the shops situated in Veeravasantharayer Mandapam at Meenakshi Amman Temple. During the fire accident, the entire mandapam was damaged and all the shop owners were evicted from the fire affected area. At that time, it appears that some assurance was given to them to give preference, while allotting the shops, to be built under the Smart City Scheme in and around the Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple, Madurai. With regard to that, they made a representation on 02.10.2019 and the same is pending till date. Since the Smart City construction work is nearing completion, the petitioners have approached this Court for considering their representation.

4.Considering the limited prayer, a direction is given to the respondents to consider the petitioners' representation dated 02.10.2019, and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5.Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (Crl.Side) // True Copy // Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) To The Joint Commissioner/Executive Officer, Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple, Madurai.
