I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available record. 5. The petitioner has annexed scheme of preparation or mid-day meals as Annexure-P/4, which shows that against the impugned order, the petitioner may file representation before concerned Collector, therefore, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition invoking extra ordinary jurisdictions of this Court. Hence, the same is dismissed. However, liberty is left with the petitioner to raise their grievance before the Collector, Surguja (Ambikapur). In the eventuality of filing such representation by the petitioner, the Collector, Suguja (Ambikapur) is directed to consider and decide the same in 3 accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of the representation. 6.
