UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

Upon hearing the learned counsels for the

parties we are of the view that the order that would be

appropriate at this stage is to keep the present writ

petition pending and require the Union of India to

consider and decide on the communication/letter

No.58720/Cts.-VIA/2008 dated 2nd March, 2016 of the

Government of Tamil Nadu within a period of three

months with effect from today. We order accordingly.

Such consideration will be made in the light of the

decision of the Constitution Bench of this Court dated

2nd December, 2015 in Writ Petition (Criminal) No.48 of

2014 (Union of India Vs. V. Sriharan alias Murugan and

others) and other connected cases.

List the matter thereafter.
