The writ petition of the petitioner is said to be Writ Petition No.3367 (S/S) of 2012. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner, after arguing at some length, submits that with regard to the relief sought in the writ petition, the petitioner may be permitted to submit a representation before the respondent No.3 which may be directed to be decided within a fixed time frame to which learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has submitted that though the petitioner is praying an innocuous prayer but that innocuous prayer is not so innocuous, inasmuch as the benefit of the order being sought, may not be granted for the reason that the issue in question has already been set at rest up to the level of Hon'ble Apex Court in re: Civil Appeal No.8300 of 2016; Sanjay Singh & others vs. State of U.P. and others vide judgement and order dated 26 August, 2020 (Annexure-4), therefore while considering the aforesaid innocuous request the competent authority i.e. District Inspector of Schools (DIOS) will have to examine this aspect carefully. 6. In view of the above, it is provided that in case the petitioner submits a representation within two weeks from today before the respondent No.3 i.e. the District Inspector of Schools, Ambedkar Nagar then the respondent No.3 shall endeavour to decide the same by means of a reasoned and speaking order within a further period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with representation. 7. With the aforesaid direction, writ petition is disposed of. 8. It is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merits of the case.
