ORDER

He would pray that he would give a fresh representation within a fortnight from today and the third respondent may be directed to consider and pass orders on such representation.
2. Mr. S.Venkatesh, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the third respondent would submit that they will consider the representation that is to be made by the writ petitioner within a period of two weeks and appropriate order shall be passed within a period of four weeks thereafter.
