However, his grievance is that further action has not been taken. Whatever the grievance remains in the matter, the petitioner may approach the Chief Development Officer, Raebareli raising the same within 15 days whereupon he may consider and take such action as he may deem proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. The Public Interest Litigation is accordingly disposed of. However, it is made clear that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the matter.
