II. Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the opposite party no. 3 to take a decision on the petitioner's representation for payment of arrears of salary considering the fact that the appointment of the petitioner had been cancelled illegally and the petitioner's case stood vindicated after passing of the Hon'ble Courts order dated 07.02.2023, in the interest of justice." Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is ready to prefer a fresh representation to the Competent Authority, therefore, he may be permitted to prefer a fresh representation to the opposite party No.3, i.e., Secretary Basic Shiksha Parishad, U.P., Prayagraj and a direction may be issued to him to consider and decide the said representation of the petitioner with expedition.
