Rule returnable forthwith. With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is heard finally at the stage of admission. 2] By this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners pray for issuance of writ directing the respondents to decide the representation of the petitioners dated 17.7.2010. According to the petitioners, the petitioners have submitted repeated representations to the authorities, but the authorities have not taken any cognizance of the same. 3] Shri A.B. Girase, learned counsel for the petitioners, states that the petitioners do not press for the relief at prayer clause (C) to the petition at present, but press for liberty to file appropriate proceedings praying for the said relief in the event the representation is decided against the petitioners. Writ petition is, therefore, dismissed in so far as relief at prayer clause (C) is concerned with the liberty as prayed for. - 3 - 4] Since the petitioners state that the said representations are pending, we are inclined to allow this writ petition and accordingly allow the petition and direct the respondents to decide the representations of the petitioners dated 17.7.2010 in accordance with law within a period of two months from today and communicate the decision thereon to the petitioners. Rule is, thus, made absolute on the above terms with no order as to costs. (N.D. Deshpande, J.) (P.V. Hardas, J.) ndk/c307103
