Having heard learned counsels for the parties and the limited submission of learned counsel for the petitioner, the instant writ application is hereby disposed of by directing the 3rd Respondent to treat this writ application as representation and take a decision in the matter by passing a reasoned and speaking order within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and the same shall be communicated to the Petitioner. The Petitioner is also directed to serve the copy of this writ petition along with this order to the 3rd Respondent for early disposal of his claim. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the instant writ application stands disposed of. Pending IAs, if any, also stands closed. (Deepak Roshan, J.) vikas/-
