The Chief Welfare Fund Inspector of the respondent-Board has rejected the request as per Exhibit P3. Since the petitioner is claiming the benefit of Exhibit P1 Government Order and being a policy matter, and since the Government is entitled to issue directions to the Board, it is only appropriate that the Government look into the matter.

Thereafter, the first respondent shall consider the same with notice to the petitioner and second respondent and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law and justice within a period of another three months.
