Heard Mr. Ch. Robinchandra, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mrs. L. Monomala, learned GA appearing for the respondents.

In view of the limited prayer and as agreed to by both the counsel appearing for the parties, the present writ petition is being disposed of at the Admission stage itself.

At the outset, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner will be satisfied for the time being if the present writ petition is disposed of by directing the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest & HoFF, Government of Manipur, to consider the representation dated 26-11-2025 submitted by the petitioner on its own merit and strictly in terms of the applicable rules and to dispose of the same by issuing a speaking order within the stipulated period.

Mrs. L. Monomala, learned GA appearing for the respondents fairly submitted that as the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner

(i) The Principal Chief Conservator of Forest & HoFF, Government of Manipur, is hereby directed to consider the representation dated 26-11-2025 submitted by the petitioner on its own merit and strictly in terms of the applicable rules and to dispose of the same by issuing a speaking order;

(ii) The whole process should be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order; and
