Learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner without entering into merits of the case, made innocuous prayer that the petitioner may be permitted to file fresh representation before respondent no.2 and a direction may be issued to him to decide the same in time bound manner. 3. Learned Standing counsel appearing on behalf of State- respondents vehemently opposed the writ petition on merit, but has not opposed the prayer as made by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. 4. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Sri S.K. Mishra, learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the State-respondents and perused the contents made in the writ petition. 5. Without entering into merits of the case, I am inclined to allow the innocuous prayer made by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as no objection made on behalf of learned Standing counsel appearing on behalf of State-respondents. The petitioner is directed to file a fresh representation along with present writ petition as well as certified copy of this order before respondent no.2, Deputy Director of Education, Varanasi Region, Varanasi within 10 days from today.
