In case, the concerned authority/Respondents No.1 to 3 is in requirement of copies of necessary/relevant documents, then it is the prime duty of the Petitioner to furnish the same to such authority, without any loss of time, so as to enable the said authority to dispose of his representations, dated 1.7.2016 and 15.7.2016, within the time determined by this Court.
