Learned counsel for the contesting-respondents fairly states that in case the petitioner prefers a fresh representation for issuance of the character certificate before the Competent Authority, definitely the same would be considered expeditiously in accordance with the law. 4. Be that as it may, without adverting on the merits of the case, with the consent of parties, the writ petition is disposed of asking the petitioner to file a detailed representation/application for issuance of character certificate before the competent authority i.e. respondent No.2, District Magistrate Azamgarh, within ten days from today. In case, any such representation/application is filed by the petitioner, we hope and trust that the same shall be considered and decided by the District Magistrate, Azamgarh expeditiously and preferably within a further period of six weeks.
