① It's best chance at possible solution → seniors will agree about the issue once brought to light.

② Upholds spirit of public service and ensures quality of service delivery

③ Conflict resolution will lead to favouring deserving candidate.

④ Akshay can make his case to seniors in private and discuss without antagonizing them

⑤ If not accepted, he can write a letter to higher authorities and try to achieve top-down action
