ORDER

This Petition has been filed to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 09.11.2021 within a time stipulated by this Court.

2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that she has given a representation before the second respondent on 09.11.2021, the same has not been considered yet, therefore, he has filed the present writ petition.

3. This Court has not expressed any of its view with regard to the merits of the representation made by the petitioner. It is needless to point out that whenever a representation of this nature is made, the respondents are duty bound to consider the same in one way or the other. Non-consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of ordinary duties of their office and as such, this Court would be justified in invoking its powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct them to consider the petitioner's representation within a stipulated time. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
