With regard to the maintainability issue raised, learned counsel for the respondents places instruction before this Court; let it be taken on record.

In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable.

4.

However, dismissal of the writ petition will not stand in the way of the petitioner from approaching the competent forum for relief in accordance with law.

All parties are to act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Certified copy of this order, if applied for, shall be made available to the parties.
