The said letter was replied only on 02.05.2024 by the respondents stating that the Service Register of the petitioner was missing and thereafter, by letter dated 01.10.2024, he was intimated that his Service Register

was destroyed due to unprecedented floods in Chennai and a criminal case is registered in that regard.

He also submitted further documents by his letter dated 04.07.2025. However, till date no action is taken by the respondents, which triggered the petitioner to approach this Court.

5. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that it would suffice, if the second respondent is directed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 04.07.2025 on merits and in accordance with law, within a specified period.

6. The learned Additional Government Pleader for respondents 1 and 2 and the learned counsel for the third respondent have no objection for such an order being passed by this Court.
