Dhaulta, learned Additional Advocate General, appears and waives service of notice on behalf of the respondents. 2. With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the matter is heard at this stage. 3. Petitoner is nearing his superannuation. His grievance is that a representation preferred by him on 19.07.2025 (Annexure P-4) to respondent No.3 for designating him as Chowkidar (Class-IV) instead of Cook (Class-III) has not been considered and decided. Petitioner 1 Whether reporters of print and electronic media may be allowed to see the order? Yes. 2 has tried to project the case that his designation as Cook (Class-III) is not beneficial to him in the given facts, therefore, he had represented for him being designated as Chowkidar (Class-IV). Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner would be satisfied in case the respondents/competent authority(s) are directed to consider and decide the aforesaid representation in accordance with law within a fixed-time schedule. Learned Additional Advocate General is not averse to this prayer. 4. Having regard to the afore-submissions, but without examining the merits of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents/ competent authority to consider and decide the aforesaid representation of the petitioner dated 19.07.2025 (Annexure P-4) in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from today. The decision so arrived at shall also be communicated to the petitioner. The writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms, so also the pending miscellaneous application(s), if any.
