And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ganesh Shankar Dubey Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Mrs. Manju Rani Chauhan,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondent. This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to direct the respondent nos. 2 and 3 to consider grievance of the petitioners and pass legal speaking order on the representations dated

19.08.2023 and 04.09.2023 within stipulated period. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the name of petitioners have been deleted from the ration card and in their place the name of respondent nos. 5 and 6 has been substituted, therefore, they have moved an application before respondent no. 3 to look into the grievance of the petitioner but nothing has been done till date. Therefore, a direction may be issued to respondent no. 3 to decide the aforesaid application of the petitioners within stipulated period. The learned Standing Counsel has no objection to the submission made by the counsel for the petitioners. No useful purpose would be served by keeping this petition pending in view of the order, which the Court proposes to pass hereunder. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this writ petition is finally disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to make a fresh application / representation ventilating all his grievances within two weeks from today along with copy of the writ petition and, if any such representation/application is made, the respondent no. 3 shall make all endeavors to consider and decide the same after giving opportunity of hearing to Shashi Kala Pathak and Sadhana Devi, expeditiously, in accordance with law, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of the said application / representation, if there is no other legal impediment. It is made clear that this Court has not examined the merits of the claim of the petitioners and the authority concerned shall apply its own mind strictly in accordance with law.
