Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Government is vested with the power of relaxing the said rule under Rule 3 Chapter I of K.E.R. Petitioner has submitted Exhibit P4 representation in that behalf before the Government. 3. Learned Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that the petitioner cannot file such an application as Exhibit P4 after the passing of Exhibit P3. W.P ( C) No. 3802 of 2008 2 Without going into the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Exhibit P4 and issue an appropriate communication to the petitioner thereto, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
