If the representation submitted by petitioner is still pending consideration, it will be considered in accordance with law. 4. On due consideration of the submission of learned counsel for parties further considering that representation submitted by petitioner dated 25.09.2025 stated to be pending consideration before the Committee of State Level constituted under Rationalization Policy, without entering into merits of this case this writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.2 to take decision on the representation dated 25.09.2025 submitted by petitioner expeditiously preferably within further period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. 5. At this stage, learned counsel for petitioner submits that Block Education Officer/respondent No.9 had written letter to respondent No.7 for releasing of salary, however, respondent No.7 has not taken any decision on the said letter, therefore, a direction be issued to respondent No.7 to take decision on the letter of respondent No.9. 6.
