(2 of 2)

Request seems to be fair.

¶21

Learned counsel for the petitioner also relies on order/judgment in Sita Ram Meena & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors SB Civil Writ Petition No. 14480/2019 by a Coordinate Bench of this Court and submits that the respondents may be directed to consider the representation of the petitioner in light of the aforesaid judgment.

¶22

Given the nature of order which is being passed, no prejudice would be caused to the respondents and, therefore, the requirement of issuance of notice is dispensed with as no return is required to be filed by them.

¶23

In the aforesaid premise, the writ petition is disposed of. The respondent-competent authority is directed to decide the pending representation of the petitioner dated 21.01.2021 (Annex.3) by passing an appropriate administrative order, in accordance with law.

¶24

Needless to say that the competent authority shall go through the judgment relied upon by learned counsel for the petitioners as mentioned hereinabove and apply its independent mind on the applicability of the same before passing any order.

¶25

Needful be done expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of 03 months from today.
