The petitioner is aggrieved by the said decision.

2. Today, when this matter was taken up, the learned counsel for the respondent submitted that if the petitioner submits a fresh application with the requisite documents, the competent authority would certainly consider the same.

The petitioner is free to prefer a fresh application for registration with the requisite documents. If the petitioner prefers a fresh application, the same shall be considered and appropriate decision shall be taken thereon, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
