In this petition, the petitioner has sought for the following reliefs: "A.

In the alternative and without prejudice to prayer A, direct the Respondents to consider the representation made by the Petitioner dated 25.06.2019 produced as Annexure-'E', in a time bound manner. C. Grant such other reliefs to meet the ends of justice and equity."
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the respondents and perused the material on record.
Though several contentions have been urged by both sides, in view of the undisputed fact that the petitioner's representation at Annexures-E dated 25.06.2019 has not been considered by the respondents and no order has been passed so far and having regard to the fact that the grievances of the petitioner as ventilated in the representation has not been considered by the respondents while passing the order at Annexure-F dated 25.01.2021, I deem it just and appropriate to dispose of this petition directing the respondents to address the grievances of the petitioner as ventilated in the representation dated 25.06.2019 vide Annexure-E and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law bearing in mind the decision of this Court in the earlier round of litigation in the case of Mr. Shyamraj Singh Vs. The Deputy Commissioner (W.P.36004/2018 C/W 36005/2010 DD: 24.01.2019) produced at Annexure-E, as well as the decision of the Hon'ble Division Bench in the case of K. Nagesh Vs.

With the aforesaid observations and directions, the petition stands disposed of.
