action was taken on the said representation, the present writ petition is filed.

In view of the above facts, this Court is not examining the merits of the case, but directs the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, dated 28.02.2011 and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
