Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have already moved a representation (Annexure P-4) to respondent No.2 for seeking the redressal of their grievance as put-forth in this petition and the petitioners would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to look into and to decide the said representation in a time bound manner. Learned State counsel has no objection for the same.
