(D) Award the cost of writ petition in favour of the petitioner."
3. Considering the factual situation, we are not inclined to entertain the instant writ petition. Suffice to indicate that in case, the petitioner moves an objection/response in pursuance of the impugned preliminary order dated 23.12.2024 before the concerned authority within a week from today, we hope and trust that the same shall be considered and decided by the said authority expeditiously, strictly in accordance with law.
4. With the aforesaid observation, the instant writ petition stands disposed of.
