Whatever decision(s) is/are taken by respondent No. 3, or whatever order(s) is/are passed by the respondent No. 3, the same shall be communicated, in writing, to the petitioner. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by the decision(s), which may be taken by the respondentNo. 3 and/or the order(s) that may be passed on the said representation, the petitioner shall remain at liberty to take recourse to such provisions of law as may be permissible.
With the above observations and directions, this writ petition shall stand disposed of.
