Looking into the fact that the petitioner has already moved an application/representation dated 29/09/2025 before the District Magistrate, District- Pratapgarh, which is pending for consideration, this Court is of the considered view that at this stage, it would not be appropriate to pass any direction as prayed for by the petitioner by means of the instant writ petition. Thus, no useful purpose will be served in keeping the present writ petition pending. 6. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate, District- Pratapgarh (respondent No. 2) to consider and pass appropriate order on the application/representation of the petitioner dated 29/09/2025, strictly in accordance with law, within a maximum period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is produced by the petitioner, unless there is any legal impediment. 7.
