Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the representation pertains to matters affecting the petitioner's legal rights and interests, and that the authority is under a statutory as well as constitutional obligation to consider and decide such representation within a stipulated time. He further submits that the inaction on the part of the respondent amounts to denial of fair administrative consideration.

submit that the same shall be considered in accordance with law.
