The petitioner is seeking a direction to the respondent to consider the petitioner's application for the re-issue of the temporary permit in continuation of Ext.P1.

It is with this background, the petitioner has come up before this Court.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader in the matter. Considering the nature of the submissions and the nature of the prayer, this writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2
