I have heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of parties and perused the materials placed on record. I am of the view that the representation of the petitioner is required to be considered by the concerned respondent. In the light of the above, I direct the Additional Regional Transport Officer, Arambagh, being the respondent No. 5 to consider the representation dated February 25, 2020 made by the petitioner upon granting an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, and thereafter, pass necessary reasoned order within a period of four weeks from the date of communication of this order.

The reasoned order should be communicated to petitioner within a week from the date of passing such reasoned order.

With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Since, no affidavit-in-opposition has been called for, the allegations made in the writ petition are deemed to have not been admitted by the respondents.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties, upon compliance of all formalities, on priority basis.
