Learned counsel for the petitioner submits and leaned ASC, who, on request, accepts notice for the OPs does not much dispute that the subject representation should meet its fate at the hands of OP Nos.2 & 3 on merits and in a reasonable period, which is eight weeks ordinarily. p. 2 In the above circumstances, petition is disposed off. Period for consideration of subject representation and informing result of such consideration to the petitioner, is eight weeks. All
contentions of the parties are kept open. It is open to solicit any information or document from side of the petitioner or from other officers, as are required for due
consideration of the subject application; however, in that guise delay shall not be brooked. If brooked, delay shall be viewed very seriously and at the next level of legal battle cost may be heavily imposed, as personally payable. Now, no costs. Web copy of order to be acted upon by all concerned.
