Though no counter-aﬃdavit is ﬁled, the learned Government Pleader for Home, under instructions, stated that no criminal cases are pending against the petitioner and no rowdy-sheet is being continued. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider the representations of the petitioner latest being on 18.10.2008 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order.
