The instant writ petition is preferred for re-enquiry in respect of petitioner's application against the new FPS vacancy notification no.692/RFS/2023 dated September 1 of 2023.

It appears that the present petitioner has submitted a representation with the Secretary, Food Supply Department, Government of

West Bengal. The concerned Secretary has not taken steps in respect of that representation. Report of the State discloses that the enquiry was conducted over the proposed shop cum godown of the applicants.

After considering the submissions of the parties I kept the matter open for the concerned Secretary i.e. respondent no.2 to decided issue i.e. representation of the petition.
