Learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that till this date, the petitioner has not received any reply to the said representations. 4 Having considered prayer clause (b) in the writ petition and the prayers in his representations dated 6th June, 2011, 15th July, 2011 and 3rd August, 2011, we are satisfied that this writ petition can be disposed of even without issuing notice to respondent no.1. Hence, we pass the following order :- a) Respondent no.1 shall consider and decide the petitioner's representation dated 6th June, 2011 on merits in accordance with law. It is made clear that if right of any other person is likely to be affected by allowing the petitioner's representations, respondent no. 1 shall grant hearing to such person/s before deciding the representation dated 6th June, 2011. 5 Insofar as the representations dated 15th July, 2011 and 3rd August, 2011 addressed to respondent no.1 are concerned, learned Counsel for the petitioner fairly states that they are just repetition of whatever has been stated in the representation dated 6th June, 2011. In view thereof, respondent no.1 need not consider the other representations. Respondent no.1 shall decide the representation dated 6th June, 2011, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of sixteen weeks from the date of receipt of this order. sat 3 wp 7704-2011 6 While passing this order, we shall not be understood to have examined the petitioner's claim. 5 With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of.
