(Made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice)

The appeal is filed against the order dated 18.07.2022 passed by

the Learned Single Judge of this Court in a writ petition filed by the

petitioner bearing No. 8248 of 2022.

2. The petitioner in the said writ petition claimed a limited relief

seeking directions to dispose of the representation dated 30.11.2020

filed by the petitioner. It appears that on 05.04.2022, the writ petition

was disposed of by making the observations as reproduced by the

Learned Single Judge under the impugned order.

3. The learned Single Judge being satisfied with the steps taken

by the fourth respondent recorded the compliance report.

4. The relief of the petitioner in the writ petition was limited. No

further relief was sought with regard to any orders or steps taken by

the respondents. In case the petitioner is not convinced and/or

aggrieved by any action of the authorities, then it is for the petitioner

to take appropriate steps against the same.

The writ appeal as such stands disposed of. No costs.
