Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri Ajay Singh, learned counsel for respondent no.1, Sri Sanjai Singh, learned counsel appearing for respondent nos.2 and 3- Bank and Sri Awadhesh Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the State- respondents and perused the contents made in the writ petition. 5. Since, the matter has not been pressed on merit and only made an innocuous prayer that the petitioner no.2 may be permitted to file a fresh representation/ application before the respondent no.3, and no objection made by learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent- Bank for reconsideration of the fresh representation/ application, without entering into merits of the case, I am inclined to allow the innocuous prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.
