Judgment : M. Jaichandren, J. 1. Heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties concerned. 2. This Writ Petition has been filed praying that this Court may be pleased to issue a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to pass orders on the application of the petitioner, dated 30.10.2009, for the issuance of a Community Certificate to the petitioner's children, namely [1] K.Murugan, and [2] K.Karthick, stating that they belong to 'Kurumans', a Scheduled Tribe Community. 3. At this stage of the hearing of the Writ Petition, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner had submitted that it would suffice, if a direction is issued to the 2nd respondent to pass orders on the application of the petitioner, dated 30.10.2009, on merits and in accordance with law, within a time frame specified by this Court. The learned Additional Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents has no objection for this court passing such an order. 4. In such circumstances, we find it appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to consider the application of the petitioner, dated 30.10.2009, if it is otherwise in order, and dispose of the same, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall furnish a copy of the application, dated 30.10.2009, to the 2nd respondent, along with a copy of this order. However, it is made clear that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the matter. The Writ Petition is disposed of, with the above directions. No costs.
