Standing Counsel entered appearance on behalf of respondents 1 to 3 and resisted the writ petition. The Standing Counsel sought time to file counter affidavit. 4. From the pleadings, I find that the petitioner has made a request in this regard before the 3rd respondent- Controller of Examinations. In the facts of the case, I am of the view that to meet the ends of justice, it would be sufficient if the 3rd respondent considers Ext.P2 representation submitted by the petitioner seeking mercy chance to appear in the examination. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider Ext.P2 representation sympathetically and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of six weeks.
