If any such representation is filed along with certified copy of this order, the licencing authority (second respondent) shall call for report from the concerned section/department to ascertain whether any such application is pending or not and if it is pending he shall proceed to take an appropriate decision thereon, preferably, within next six weeks. In case it has already been decided or is not traceable the petitioner shall be informed accordingly.
