The respondent, who appeared in person, accepts notice.

Taking into consideration the fact that the time schedule

However, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the instant case, we permit the respondent to submit her application for the aforesaid examination which shall remain subject to the outcome of this petition.
List the matter on 14.03.2022.
