O R D E R

The limited grievance of the petitioner is that he had given a complaint against the third respondent herein with certain allegations of misuse of powers and sought for initiation of departmental action against him. This Court does not intend to go into the veracity of the said allegations since that could have a bearing on the out come of the departmental enquiry, in any. Nevertheless, if the first respondent is directed to consider the petitioner's representation, which is claimed to be given on 12.10.2019, the ends of justice could be secured.
