2.As seen from the documents filed along with this Writ Petition, the petitioner's representation referred to supra has already been acted upon by the 3rd respondent and he has also conducted an enquiry. Since the 3rd respondent has already acted upon the representation of the petitioner dated 17.09.2025 and he has already commenced enquiry, this Court is of the considered view that no

prejudice would be caused to the 3rd respondent if a direction is issued to the 3rd respondent to dispose of the petitioner's representation within a short time, after hearing all the necessary parties. Since no adverse orders are passed as against the respondents 6 & 7, notice to the respondents 6 & 7 in this Writ Petition is dispensed with by this Court.
