ORDER:- This Writ Miscellaneous Petition coming on for orders on this day and upon perusing the petition and the affidavit filed in support thereof and upon hearing the arguments of Mr.M.S.Charles, Advocate for the Petitioner and of Mr.B.Nambi Selvan, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the Respondents, this Court made the following order:- This Miscellaneous Petition is filed by the petitioner seeking extension of time to send the representation to the respondents, in particular the first respondent, as per the order passed by this court, in WP(MD)No.8739 of 2017, dated 21.05.2021. 2.Heard both sides.

3.By order of this court, dated 21/05/2021, the petitioner herein was required to make a fresh representation to the competent authority, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the order copy. Now this petition is filed seeking extension of time on the ground that he could not process the order, that has been passed by this court in view of his imprisonment. Because of the pandemic situation, the Advocate was not permitted to visit the prison and he could not contact his Advocate. 4.Considering the fact that the petitioner is undergoing imprisonment and was not in a position to contact his Advocate for processing the representation, as ordered by this court, I am of the considered view that the request made by the petitioner seems to be reasonable and genuine one. So, two months time extension is granted to the petitioner to make a fresh representation from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5.This Miscellaneous Petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CO) // True Copy // / /2022 Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) TO 1.The Joint Secretary, The Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs (Centre State Division) NDCC-II Building, Jai Singa Road, New Delhi-110 001.
