The petitioner herein seeks a direction to the first respondent to consider her revision in Na.Ka.No.D6/823885/2023 and pass final orders on its own merits.
2. Heard the arguments of Mr.V.Sukumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mrs.S.Jeya Priya, learned Government Advocate, who takes notice for the respondents. By consent of both sides, this Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
