"The petitioner in the subject petition calls in question an endorsement dated 19.10.2022 passed by respondent No.3.
2. Heard Sri. Harsha Kumar Gowda H., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri. M. Vinod Kumar, learned AGA appearing for the respondents and have perused the material on record.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the issue in the case at hand stands covered by the judgment of the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in W.P.No.15602/2022 dated 10.08.2022, wherein the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court has held as follows:
"The short grievance of the petitioner is against the endorsement dated 28.04.2022 issued by the third respondent at Annexure-E and also as to non-consideration of his representation dated 24.06.2022, a copy whereof avails at Annexure-D.
2. Learned Additional Government Advocate on request having accepted notice for the respondents although opposed the writ petition for sometime, now fairly agrees to instruct his clients to look into the grievance of petitioner as aired in the subject writ petition disregarding the impugned order, in terms of the Court Notification dated 16.01.2021, a copy whereof avails at Annexure-D. This is appreciable.
In the above circumstances, writ petition is disposed of with the above observations. Time for compliance is six weeks. All contentions are kept open.
Costs made easy."
4. In the light of the order passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court (supra) and for the reasons aforementioned, the
