In this regard, the petitioner made a representation to the second respondent herein on 26.03.2018 seeking to conduct an enquiry. Since no action has been taken by the second respondent, the petitioner has come forward with the present Writ Petition.
5.Considering the facts and circumstance of the case and without going into the merits of the matter, this Court is inclined to issue the following direction:
"The second respondent shall decide the issue after hearing the petitioner and other parties, who are likely to be affected, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, preferably on or before 11.01.2021. 6.The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above directions.
