ORDER
Since the relief sought is only a direction, notice to the respondent is dispensed with.
2. Petitioner is seeking a direction to consider his representation as per Annexure-B dated 22.02.1995 stated to have been given in the year 1995.
3. Admittedly, there is a delay of more than 17 years in filing the writ petition seeking a direction. As such, at this juncture, on the basis of the said representation, a direction could not be issued. However, at this stage if there is any grievance still subsisting, it is open to the petitioner to pursue his remedy in accordance with law.
