by him.

3.The statement of the learned Government Advocate is hereby recorded. The 2nd respondent is now required to dispose off the representation / appeal dated 30.08.2022 of the petitioner within a period of six (6) weeks from today, after hearing all those who are likely to be affected by his decision. 4.This Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly.
