Keeping in view the aforesaid facts and without commenting upon the merits of the case, it is considered appropriate to direct the Secretary, Haryana Staff Selection Commission, Panchkula to consider the present writ petition as a representation and decide the claim of the writ petitioner in accordance with law by passing a speaking order after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner through video conferencing within a period of one month from today.
