2. Through this OA, applicant has prayed for the following reliefs:- “a.

OR IN THE ALTERNATE Hon’ble Tribunal may graciously be pleased to direct the opposite parties to dispose of applicant’s claim on merits by extending the benefit of Judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court as well as by this Hon’ble Tribunal within such stipulated time as Hon’ble Tribunal may deem it proper.
b. Costs of the OA and such other reliefs as may be deemed fit and proper in the circumstances of the case may also be pleased to be awarded to the applicant as against the opp. parties.”
3.

Keeping in view, the innocuous prayer made by the applicant, this O.A. is disposed of finally, without going into the merits of the case, with a direction to the applicant to prefer fresh representation stating all the points within two weeks from today and respondents/ competent authority shall consider and decide the said representation of the applicant within a period of three months from the date of receipt of such representation in accordance with law and the authority of the Hon’ble Supreme Court as stated in the relief (Annexure No. A-3 to the OA) by passing a reasoned and speaking order under intimation to the applicant forthwith.
