2. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the respondents that the only reason the petitioner’s application was not processed was on the ground that the documents, as directed in the letter dated 20.05.2024, had been submitted after 60 days. However, a perusal of the record would clearly show that the said documents were submitted within a period of 59 days. Therefore, the only reason for not processing the petitioner’s application no longer exists.

3. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to process the petitioner’s application within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
