On the above pleadings of the petitioner, Mr.V.Jayaprakashnarayanan, learned Special Government Pleader, who took notice for the respondents, submits that the first respondent is not at all concerned with the grievance of the petitioner and, therefore, it is not for the first respondent to look into the matter but for other respondents. The learned Special Government Pleader would also submit that the issue involved herein is of public interest and, as such, the other respondents, excepting the first respondent, may be directed to do the needful within a reasonable time limit. 7. The learned counsel for the petitioner admitting that the first respondent is only a formal party submits that the petitioner is not seeking any direction against him and it is enough if a direction is given to the other respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner, dated 1.8.2013. 8. In the light of the above facts and circumstances of the case and considering that the pilgrims from all over the world come to Mayiladuthurai to visit various temples, cultural and historical places located in and around Mayiladuthurai, coupled with the fact that the proposed Bye-Pass Road is en route for the famous Velankanni temple, this Court is of the considered view that the matter requires prompt and speedy action and, accordingly, the respondents 2 to 5 are directed to consider the grievance of the petitioner put forth by him in his representation, dated 1.8.2013, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
