ORAL ORDER
Learned advocate Mr. Mit Thakkar, under instructions,
states that at this juncture, considering the fact that the
representation made by the petitioner on 25.8.2022 has still not
been decided, the petitioner’s grievance would be redressed to
some extent if the Court directs the respondent Nos.2 to 4 to
decide the said representation as early as possible, by passing a
reasoned order in accordance with law. Learned advocate Mr.
Chintan Gandhi appearing for Mr. Sandip Kapadiya for respondent
No.5 states that the original complainant may also be heard.
2. In view of the above, respondent Nos.2 to 4 are
directed to decide the representation made by the petitioner on
25.8.2022 in accordance with law by passing a reasoned order and
communicate the same to the petitioner by way of Speed Post. The
said decision must be taken by respondent Nos.2 to 4 latest by

C/SCA/2944/2025 ORDER DATED: 30/01/2026
30.4.2026. It would be open for the original complainant to make
written submissions before the respondent Nos.2 to 4 and the
respondent Nos.2 to 4 are directed to consider the same while
deciding the representation of the petitioner.
3. In view of the above direction, learned advocate Mr.
Mit Thakkar does not press this petition at this stage with a liberty
to file fresh petition in case if the representation is not favourably
decided in favour of the petitioner. The petition stands disposed of
as not pressed. It is clarified that this Court has not examined the
merits of the case. Notice is discharged. No order as to costs.
