¶4In view of the aforesaid, the petitioner is permitted to make a fresh representation before the District Magistrate within two weeks which shall be decided within two months in accordance with law taking into consideration the benefit of Government Order dated 14.03.2023. The benefit of the Government Order dated 14.03.2023 would be available to the petitioner on its own merit.

¶5It is made clear that this Court has not applied itself on the merits of the case and all questions are left open to be considered and decided by the competent authority in accordance with law.

¶6With the aforesaid directions, the present writ petition is disposed of. (Om Prakash Shukla, J.) (Vivek Chaudhary, J.) Order Date :- 18.12.2023 Anand Sri./- High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
