Mr. S. Deb, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that an objection/representation has been filed before the Deputy Commissioner, (Revenue) West Garo Hills Tura, which is still pending consideration. He submits that his only prayer at this stage, is for the Deputy Commissioner to dispose of the representation. 6. Mr. S. Sen, learned GA for the respondents Nos. 1 & 3, has submitted that the writ petition is vague, and even the impugned notification has not been enclosed. As such, he submits it is difficult for him to even seek instructions from the Deputy Commissioner. 2025:MLHC:510 7. Having considered the matter and also perused the representation, it appears that the petitioner is only seeking some clarity with regard to the notification that has been issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed with a direction that the Deputy Commissioner examine the representation filed by the petitioner, which is annexed at Annexure-7 to the writ petition, as to whether the writ petitioner is entitled to any relief at all. 9. With the above directions, the matter stands closed and is accordingly disposed of. JUDGE Meghalaya 16.06.2025 “V.
