¶20

This Court has not expressed any of its view with regard to the merits of the application made by the petitioner. It is needless to point out that whenever an application of this nature is made, the respondents are duty bound to consider the same in one way or the other. Non-consideration of the same would amount to dereliction of ordinary duties of their office and as such, this Court would be justified in invoking its powers conferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct them to consider the petitioner's application within a stipulated time.

¶21

In view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, there shall be a direction to the first respondent to consider the petitioner's application dated 04.02.2016 on its own merits and take further action in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Such an exercise shall be done after giving due opportunity to the petitioner as well as to persons who may be interested in the subject matter.

¶22

With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
