3. The petitioner submitted a Revision before the 2nd respondent and it was rejected by the 2 nd respondent. Aggrieved by the rejection of Revision by the 2nd respondent, the petitioner has filed Ext.P12 Revision Petition before the 1st respondent. As no orders are passed on the Revision Petition, the petitioner is before this Court filing the writ petition.
4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Senior Government Pleader representing the respondents.
5. The limited prayer of the petitioner is to direct the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P12 Revision Petition filed by the petitioner. As Ext.P12 is a statutory Revision Petition, it would be only just and proper that the 1st respondent considers the same and pass orders thereon within a reasonable time.
2025:KER:1724 WP(C) NO.911 of 2025 5 The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P12 Revision Petition and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, within a period of four months.
