Page No.# 3/3

¶4The grievance of the petitioner before this Court is that his application is yet to be considered by the concerned DLC.

¶5Considering the limited prayer involved, this writ petition is disposed of directing the authorities to place the application of the petitioner before the concerned DLC in its next immediate sitting. However, if the DLC has already considered the case of the petitioner, the outcome of such consideration should be communicated to the petitioner forthwith.

¶6With the above observations and directions, this writ petition is disposed.
