4. In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition and without going into the merits of the case, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 31.08.2019 on its own merits and take further action in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
