Considering the age of the petitioner and also taking note of the fact that there is only about 15 months time left for superannuation of the petitioner, this Court is of the opinion that ends of justice would meet if petitioner is directed to make a representation to the respondent No.1 within a period of 15 days from today, and if the petitioner makes a representation within 15 days, the respondents shall thereafter consider and decide the representation objectively taking note of the age of the petitioner within a further period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of representation.
