2. Shri Goutam Khetrapal, learned counsel for the respondent SECL would submit that the petitioner has made representation before the Chief General Manager, SECL, Baikunthpur Area, District Korea, which is yet to be considered by the authorities, therefore, liberty may be reserved in favour of the SECL to decide the matter.

3. Considering the submission made by learned counsel for the parties, ends of justice would be served if the writ petition is disposed of with direction to respondents No.4 & 5, particularly respondent No.5 to take an early decision in the matter, preferably within a period of three months from today.
