3. I am conscious that the writ court will not be justified in giving any positive direction in this regard. It is for the authority to take a call in the matter. The first respondent shall consider the petitioner's representation and pass an appropriate order on merits within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter.
