2. When this Writ Petition came up for consideration before this Court on 14.08.2025, this Court passed the following order:

“The learned Senior Government Pleader submits that, the petitioner's form 9 application has been returned to him for the purpose of submitting the sketch.

In light of the above submission, it would be up to the petitioner to resubmit the form 9 Application and then, moved this writ petition.”

3. Thereafter, on 23.10.2025, this Court passed the following order:

“The Government Pleader will verify whether Form - 9 along with the sketch is received by the authority concerned. Post on 07-11-2025.”

Again on 07.11.2025 this Court passed the following order.

“The Government Pleader submitted that the required sketch is not received. Petitioner will do the needful.”

Today, when the matter came up for consideration, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that sketch is already produced and it is uploaded in the official portal also.

If that is the case, there can be a direction to consider Form 9 application. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:

1. The 6^th respondent is directed to submit the necessary report based on the Ext. P5 application to the 2^nd respondent/Authorised Officer, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
