2. When this writ petition came up for consideration, the counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner would be satisfied if a direction is issued to consider Ext.P5 by the 2nd respondent. The counsel submitted that the Board Meeting is scheduled to be held on tomorrow, and similar cases are considering by the Board tomorrow.

3. Considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, I think there can be a direction to consider Ext.P5 representation of the petitioner also, along with other requests from other parties on tomorrow itself.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:

i) The 2^nd respondent is directed to consider Ext.P5 representation, and pass appropriate orders in it, in the next Board Meeting.

ii) Issue a copy of this judgment today itself.
