JUDGMENT After the writ petition was admitted, petitioner filed a fresh representation before the Government and produced the same as Ext.P6 along with I.A.No.16208/07. Though several contentions have been raised in the writ petition, at this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner confines his prayer for a direction to the first respondent to take appropriate action, in the light of Ext.P4. Petitioner claims that Ext.P4 is an order passed in relation to similarly situated persons. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to look into Ext.P6 and take a decision thereon, keeping in W.P.(C).NO.23227/06 :: 2 :: mind the question as to whether similarly situated persons have been granted any benefit. Petitioner shall also be heard, if an adverse order is proposed to be passed against the interest of the petitioner. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
