In the light of Faguvaram (supra) the petitioners have raised identical issue which may be allowed. He submits that at this stage the petitioners may be permitted to submit detailed representation before the respondents/competent authority, who, in turn, may be directed to consider and decide the same expeditiously within specific period as fixed by this Court. 2. Learned State counsel submits that as the petitioners are not pressing this petition on merits and are only seeking a direction to decide the 3 representation to be submitted by petitioners, at this stage the State is having no objection. 3. I have heard learned counsel for parties and perused the documents annexed with the writ petition. 4. Taking into consideration the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioners, without commenting anything on the merits this petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to make their detailed representation(s) with all necessary documents before the concerned respondents/competent authority within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. In the event, the petitioners submit representation(s), the same shall be considered and decided in accordance with the relevant rules and law and after verification of the service records of the concerned deceased employees expeditiously preferably within the period of 'three months' from the date of receipt of the such representation(s) keeping in mind the decision passed in the case of Faguvaram Patel (Supra). 5. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Aadil
