Said representation was also not entertained. Petitioner thereafter filed the present writ petition, notice whereof was prepared by the counsel for the petitioner, Sri Shiv Pujan Singh on 21.12.2005, but the copy of the writ petition was served in the office of the Advocate General on 3.1.2006 and thereafter stamp report was made on 17.1.2006.
