Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has filed representation which was not considered and, therefore, he filed a fresh writ application. A representation is not a legal remedy available under the law. It is just extra legal request filed by the petitioner before the respondents to consider his case. The same having not been considered, petitioner should have moved for arbitration or before an appropriate Tribunal, which may be having jurisdiction in the matter. No second writ is maintainable in the matter. This writ application is dismissed. Pradeep/- (Jayanandan Singh, J)
