Grant such other and further relief’s as this Hon’ble Court deems fit in the interest of justice and equity. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner had submitted a representation on 26.03.2023 requesting for consideration of her application earlier submitted by the petitioner in accordance with Rule 9(d) of the KHB Allotment Regulations instead of Rule 9(c) under which earlier application had been filed. 3. Considering that Rule 9(c) of the Regulations has been quashed and that the petitioner claims to qualify the requirements of Rule 9(d) of the Regulations, the respondents are directed to consider the representation of the petitioner and if the petitioner satisfies all the requirements to consider her application in terms of Rule 9(d) of the Regulations within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 4. The petition is accordingly allowed."
