However, the said benefit was extended in favour of the beneficiaries residingrl I in the rural areas whereas such benefit should have been extended to similarly situated persons residing in Municipa,l areas as well. However, during the course of hearing, he fairly admitted that such a direction could not have been issued by Panchayat Raj Department which is mainly dealing with the villages and not the Municipal areas. He submits that for the present grievance, the petitioner has already preferred a representation dated 76.OL.2O25 before respondent No. I and the same may be directed to be decided within stipulated time.
