In view of the above facts and circumstances, it is for the 2nd respondent to consider the application of the petitioner. As such, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 2nd respondent is directed to dispose of the application dated 25.08.2015 in accordance with law after considering objection if any and take

action within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
