Learned State counsel, on instructions, submits that if any representation has been submitted by the petitioner, the same shall be considered and decided by the competent authority in accordance with law. He assures that appropriate steps, if required, shall also be taken to ensure the protection of the life and liberty of the petitioner and her minor son. 4.

In view of the limited prayer made by the petitioner and without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petition is disposed of at this stage with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and decide the aforesaid representation dated 03.07.2025 (Annexure P-1) of the petitioner expeditiously, by passing a speaking order in accordance with law. 5.

Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stands disposed of.
