The short facts of the matter are set out hereunder: The petitioner worked in the respondents Organization for eighteen years. Certain charges have been framed against him and he has been removed from service, by an order dated 19.01.2005. Challenging the same, he has filed a Writ Petition in W.P.No.2829 of 2005 before this Court. However, the said Writ Petition was dismissed on 29.06.2006. The petitioner, therefore, preferred a Writ Appeal before this Court in W.A.No.475 of 2006. A Division Bench, by its order dated 24.01.2007, while dismissing the appeal, has observed that if the petitioner makes an application for re-consideration of the matter, the respondents may re-consider the matter afresh and pass appropriate orders. In view of the same, the petitioner made a representation to the respondents to re-consider his case. However, the respondents have not made any order in the said representation. The petitioner, therefore, has approached this Court by filing the present Writ Petition. 4. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 20.12.2010 and dispose of the same on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. The Writ Petition stands ordered accordingly. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
