Technical University, Lucknow as well as Chaudhary Chaaran Singh University, Meerut. 4. Pursuant to the Government Order dated 23.09.2009 and subsequent Government Order dated 11.10.2010 by which it was provided that after receiving the claim of SC/ST students, the fee shall be reimbursed to the concerned Institution within 30 days by the concerned department, the petitioner admitted 44 students of SC/ST Category for the Session 2008-09 and 54 students of SC/ST Category for Session 2009-10 in different courses. The petitioner, thereafter, uploaded the list of SC/ST students in the office of respondent no.2 which was duly verified by the office of respondent no.2, and thereafter the same was uploaded on the website of Social Welfare Department. 5. The grievance of the petitioner is that the pursuant to the Government order dated 23.09.2009 and Government Order dated 11.10.2010, money transferred/refunded into the account of petitioner's Institution for the Session 2008-09 was only Rs.10,74,920- instead of Rs.24,45,120/- and for the Session 2009- 10 was Rs.14,18,144 instead of Rs.29,49,940/. 6. According to the petitioner, the petitioner is still entitled to the refund of Rs.13,70,200/ for the Session 2008-09 and Rs.15,31,796/- for the Session 2009-10 respectively. In this respect, the petitioner Institution moved several letters/representations, and lastly on 12.02.2014 to the Principal Secretary, Technical Education, Lucknow and requested to make necessary arrangement for payment of fee, but no decision has been taken on the same, and the petitioner is running from pillar to post. 7. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submits that no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and appropriate direction may be issued to the newly impleaded respondent no.4 to look into the grievance of the petitioner. 8. In such view of the fact, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is being disposed off permitting the petitioner to submit a fresh representation before the newly impleaded respondent no.4-Director, Social Welfare,U.P., Lucknow along with a certified copy of this order, raising all its grievances within a period of one month from today. In case, any such representation is filed by the petitioner, the respondent no.4 shall consider and decide the same strictly in accordance with law by a reasoned and speaking order expeditiously preferably within a period of two months thereafter.
