The petitioner, in this regard, submitted a representation dated 05.12.2016, to the first respondent praying for revocation of the order of suspension by setting aside the same, through proper channel. Despite receipt and acknowledgement, it is not favoured with any kind of response. Hence, he came forward to file this writ petition.
