Considering the limited prayer made by the petitioners to decide their representations which have been filed as Annexures P/11, P/12, P/13 and P/14 without making any further observation on the merits of the case, it is directed that the Director Thakur Pyarelal Institute of Panchayat and Rural Development i.e. respondent No. 3 shall decide the representation of the petitioner within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of this order. It is made clear that at present this Court has not made any observation on the merit of this case to the entitlement of the petitioners.
