However, the bench at that stage simply noted that if the petitioner files his protest against the communication within a period of seven days hence, the Project Director shall first consider the request of the petitioner, examining whether the subject involving the selfsame issue is under adjudication of the Lokayukta and take a decision as regards the communication within a period of one month thereafter.
