In view of nature of order which this Court proposes to pass, there is no necessity of calling upon any response from the respondents, as no order prejudicial to the interest of any party is being passed.

At this stage, without commenting upon the averments of the petitioners or likely stand of the respondents, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.3 to accept the application form of the petitioners and process the same in accordance with law.
