I heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. I feel that this is a case where the petitioner should represent the matter before the first respondent. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that if the petitioner moves an application before the first respondent pointing out his financial difficulties within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment, the first respondent will consider and take a decision on the same in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the application.
