The petitioner's grievance seems to be that Ext.P6 request filed on 17.03.2015 has not been considered till date by the 3rd respondent.

2.

Considering the confined prayer made, there shall be a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider the request in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above observation.
