As the learned counsel for the petitioners himself requested to issue a direction to consider the online application dated 03.10.2025 submitted by the petitioners, this Court find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the online application dated 03.10.2025 submitted by the petitioners within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by passing a speaking order after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and other stake holders if any.
