He also tells the Court that in similar matter this Court has adopted the same course keeping in view the decision cited. 4.

However, he puts a caveat that all contentions should be kept open and that a reasonable period be granted by the Court for such consideration, so that a meritorious decision can be taken by jurisdictional authority. With this proposal, counsel for the petitioner is agreeable. This is appreciable. In the above circumstances, petition is disposed off reserving liberty to the petitioner to make a fresh representation within ten days, and if one is made, the authority shall take a decision thereon within two weeks next following. Till then, no coercive action, pursuant to impugned order, will be taken against the petitioner. Now, no costs. Web copy of order to be acted upon by all concerned.
