DATED :26.03.2018
P.C. :-
1.At present we are not inclined to consider other
prayers, however, we find considerable force in the
argument of learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner
that his representation filed with the Commissioner,
Latur City Municipal Corporation, Latur on 02.10.2017 is
not yet decided, though considerable time has been lapsed
from filing such representation.
2.In that view of the matter, we direct the
Commissioner, Latur City Municipal Corporation, Latur to
decide the said representation on its own merits, if not
decided, in accordance with law and if necessary after
hearing present petitioner as expeditiously as possible,
however, within two weeks from today and communicate said
decision to the petitioner.
3.Needless to observe that in-case of adverse
decision on the representation of the petitioner, the
petitioner would be at liberty to avail of an appropriate
remedy, as available in law.
4.With the above observations, the petition stands
disposed of.
5.Parties to act upon authenticated copy of this
order.
