¶29

When the writ petition is taken up for hearing, by producing the proceedings of the 3^rd respondent dated 15.10.2025, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the representation of the petitioner has been considered and the third respondent has rejected the same.

¶30

In view of the above, since the 3^rd respondent has already considered and rejected the representation of the petitioner seeking leave for three months on 15.10.2025, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, the petitioner is at liberty to work out her remedy in the manner known to law, if she is aggrieved by the rejection order.
