3. Learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that the petitioners have been assigned the job of business facilitator in the Bank in question since long time and they are still discharging their duties on such position but some of the petitioners are not being paid their remuneration for couple of months and the petitioners may likely be discontinued without any cogent reasons. He has further submitted that for redressal of the aforesaid grievance, the petitioners have preferred representation to the competent authority, but to no avail.
Learned counsel for the petitioners has also submitted that the petitioners may be permitted to prefer fresh separate representation before opposite party no.2 and this Court may direct opposite party no.2 to pass appropriate order strictly in accordance with law.
4. Learned counsel for the opposite parties has no objection if direction for disposal of the representation is issued.
5. Therefore, without entering into merits of the issue, the petitioners are permitted to prefer fresh separate representation to opposite party no.2 i.e. Regional Manager, Regional Office, 1st Floor, Union Bank Bhavan, Vibhuti Khand, Lucknow taking all pleas and grounds, which are necessary for disposal of the representations and also enclosing the earlier representation, if any, alongwith certified copy of this order within a period of fifteen days from today.
