In view of such, this Court while disposing the instant writ petition directs the respondent no.3 authority to consider the representations of the writ petitioners as have annexed at page nos.45 to 53 of the instant writ petition in accordance with law and after giving a fair chance of hearing to the writ petitioners and/or their authorized representatives shall pass a reasoned order and shall forthwith communicate the same to the writ petitioners soon thereafter.

The time limit as fixed by this Court is peremptory and mandatory. 7. With the aforementioned observation, the instant writ petition is disposed of. 8. Before parting with it is, however, made clear that while disposing the instant writ petition, this Court has not gone into the merits 3 of the representations as referred to above and thus, all points are kept open for adjudication by the respondent no.3 authority. 9. There shall be no order as to costs. 10. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. (Partha Sarathi Sen, J.)
