In this regard he has served the official respondents with a legal notice dated 22.03.2010 (Annexure P7) to which no reply has been received so far. (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the case, I deem it CWP No.799 of 2011.doc - 2 – appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents No.2&3 to consider the petitioner’s claim as raised in the legal notice dated 22.03.2010 (Annexure P7) served on his behalf and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
