Considered the submission made by the counsel for the respective parties, in view of the limited prayer made by the counsel for the petitioner, without entering into the merits of the case, at this stage, this petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.3 to take decision on the pending representation/application dated 15.11.2022 (Annexure-P/1) in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
