and dispose of the same by way of a reasoned order within a period of three weeks after hearing all concerned parties including the petitioner and the College. The DPI shall release the arrear subsistence allowance to the petitioner in accordance with the law within a period of two weeks from the date of passing of such reasoned order. The College is directed to take all necessary steps for giving due effect to this direction. WPA 3780 of 2022 is disposed of in terms of the above.
