The respondents in the year 2002 made acquisition of the said land for extension of their Lakshaman Mines and taken over the land of the petitioner granting compensation, however the case of the petitioner was not considered for employment. Despite the petitioner submitted his nomination along with all requisite documents and representation dated 13.05.2025 and 04.08.2025 before the respondent authorities for grant of employment, but the same was not considered. Therefore she prays for a direction to the respondents to decide the representation expeditiously. 4.
