In Brief
The appellant sought a representation for placement consideration, but the High Court rejected it solely on the ground of delay. The Supreme Court found no justification for dismissing the petition on this procedural ground. Without considering the merits, the Court allowed the appeal and directed the respondent authority to examine the appellant's representation on its own merits and pass appropriate orders within three months, emphasizing that delay alone cannot be grounds for rejecting a substantive representation without judicial review of its merit.
