In fact, raising such requests, the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P4 representation before the third respondent. However, no decision was taken thereon. When this matter is taken up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner sought permission to confine the reliefs to one for a direction to dispose of Ext.P4. In the circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this Writ Petition as also in Ext.P4, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
