The submission of the learned counsel for the applicant is that pursuant to and in compliance with the order dated 1-5-2000 passed in T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpad (35) v. Union of India, a representation for reconsideration was filed with HPC. However, by an order dated 7-6-2001, that representation has not been considered for want of deposit of 50% of the penalty. The said order, inter alia, states that the unit should deposit 50% of the penalty within 60 days. Subsequent order for deposit of the 100% penalty was passed on 1-3-2002/4-3-2002. We are of the view that the representation of the petitioner deserves to be considered without insisting upon deposit of any part of penalty amount. Let it be now considered by HPC. We hope, the representation would be decided within a period of eight weeks. Accordingly, IA is adjourned. IA No. 777 in IAs Nos. 754-55 7. Respondents 1 and 2 are represented.
