Authorities directed to consider such requests per law, ensuring reasonable hearing opportunity. Notably, court preserved petitioner's right to raise all available defenses while maintaining procedural safeguards. Matter disposed with directive to authorities to process any subsequent requests in accordance with statutory provisions.
