It is seen from record that the petitioner submitted a representation on 27.01.2026 to the respondents raising her demand. Thereafter, the Addl.

Shop Dealership License in her favour and the SDM was asked to take necessary action in the matter. But, it is contended on behalf of the petitioner that, the case of the petitioner is still pending before the concerned authority.
In view of the above, without going into the merits of the case, this Court directs the concerned respondent(s) to consider the case of the petitioner in the light of her representation dated 27.01.2026 and the inter- departmental communication dated 01.02.2026 in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of the copy of this Order.
With the above observations and directions, the present writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, miscellaneous application(s), pending if any, shall also stand closed.
