Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to approach the concerned revisional authority within a period of 15 days from today. If the petitioner approaches the concerned revisional authority within the aforesaid period and seeks interim relief, the said authority shall consider the application in accordance with law. 6. However, for a period of 15 days from today, no final order shall be passed by the concerned authority in the matter. 7.
