Others have derived benefit but claim of the petitioner has not been considered. There is nothing to indicate in the writ application that any demand on any score was made by the petitioner before the respondents before filing of the writ application. In absence of a demand or 2 failure to perform no writ can be issued to the respondents at this stage. Let the petitioner even now categorically stake his claim to the concerned, authority pointing out the infirmity in non consideration of his case and the concerned authority would be obliged to communicate to the petitioner his decision on such a claim within a period of 6 months from the date of filing his representation along with a copy of the order. This writ application is disposed of with the above observation. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioner. Anand Kr.
