2. After some length of argument, Sri R. K. Ojha, learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner submitted that he is not pressing the petition on merits and made innocuous prayer to represent his case before respondent no.2 by way of filing a detailed representation and also prayed that respondent no.2 may be directed to pass appropriate and reasoned order on the same expeditiously, after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. 3. Per contra, Sri Saurabh, learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of State-respondents vehemently opposed the instant petition on merits but he has no objection to the innocuous prayer made by learned senior counsel for the petitioner. 4. Heard Sri R. K. Ojha, learned senior counsel for the petitioner, Sri Saurabh, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents and perused the contents made in the writ petition.
5.Taking into consideration the innocuous prayer made by learned Senior counsel for the petitioner and no objection from other side, without entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to allow the innocuous prayer made by learned senior counsel for the petitioner. 6. Petitioner is directed to represent his case by way of detailed representation along with the present writ petition and certified copy of this order before respondent no.2 the District Inspector of Schools, Jalaun at Orai within 10 days. Thereafter, the respondent no.2 is directed to pass appropriate and reasoned order on the same in accordance with law after hearing all the effected parties, expeditiously, preferably within a period of eight weeks, without influencing from the promotional order passed in favour of respondent no.4. 7. With the aforesaid observations/directions, the writ petition is
disposed of.
