3.The case of the petitioner is that she married one Raja Abu Backer on 05.09.2016. As the marriage is an inter-caste marriage, in order to enjoy the benefits and subsidies of intercaste marriage, she has given a representation to the respondents to get inter-caste marriage certificate, which was not considered by the respondents so far. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court with the above prayer.

4.At this juncture, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that if a reasonable time is granted to the respondents, the representation of the petitioner will be considered and suitable orders will be passed.
