Counsel on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has made a representation dated October 5, 2024 before the respondent No.2 for opening the seal of his saw mill and for renewing the licence of the saw mill but the same is not being considered and no order has yet been passed on the representation of the petitioner. 4.
