CORAM: D.D.SINHA & A. P. BHANGALE , JJ. DATED: 14th January, 2009. *** 1. Heard Mr.N S Badhe, learned counsel for petitioner and Mr. A.G. Majumdar, learned AGP for Respondent-State. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that though the petitioner has issued legal notice dated 25.2.2008 to the State, Director of Ayurved, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences and Principal, Shri Gurudeo College, the same may be treated to be the representation of the petitioner for redressal of her grievance made in the petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the present petition and prayed that direction be given to Principal, Shri Gurudeo College Mozari, Tah.Tiwasa Dist.Amravati, to decide the said representation on its own merit within a stipulated period. 3. In the normal course, it was difficult to show indulgence; however the petitioner being a widow and making representations after 2 representations to the authorities after the death of her husband since 2004, in such a peculiar situation, we dispose of the petition with a direction to Respondent no.4 to treat the above- referred notice dated 25.2.2008 issued on behalf of the petitioner by the learned counsel for petitioner as representation of the petitioner and take a decision thereon on its own merit in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from the date of communication of this order. Since this Court has not adjudicated upon the eligibility of the petitioner, it is for the Principal of the said College to take a decision in this regard on its own merit and in accordance with law.
