In this regard, the petitioner has given a representation dated 18.04.2026 to the respondents. It is further contended that the respondents have not taken any action on the said representation given by the petitioner. 4.

This Court is not issuing notice to the respondent No.4, as this Court is directing the respondent to give an opportunity to the unofficial respondent before passing any orders on the petitioner’s representation - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:25253 WP No. 14648 of 2026 6.
