However, it is always open to the petitioner to move the concerned authorities for redressal of his grievances, and if done, the authorities will be at liberty to consider the same in accordance with law without being influenced by the present order. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Fahad. ( Vikash Jain, J. )
