Both the counsel agreed to dispose of the writ petition at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondents. The only grievance of the petitioner is that though it made several representations to the respondents, the latest one being dated 22-3-2004, complaining that the respondents 4 to 8 are running colleges at unauthorized places, no action has been taken thereon by respondents 1 to 3. Since the representation said to have been filed by the petitioner is pending, I deem it proper to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the said representation filed by the petitioner, after giving notice to the interested parties, in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
