Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned HCGP appearing for the respondents, it appears just and proper to dispose of this petition at this stage itself.

¶29

Learned HCGP is not in a position to dispute the facts as asserted on the petition that the application made by the petitioner has indeed remained pending for all this time.

¶30

In the given set of facts and circumstances, it appears just and proper to observe that the authorities concerned
