Sandeep Sharma, Judge (oral):

                 Before       notices,      if   any,     could      be     issued       to    the

respondents,         learned       counsel       representing         the        petitioner,   on

instructions, states that his client would be content and satisfied in

case his pending representation (Annexure P-7) is considered and

decided by the competent authority in light of judgment rendered by

Coordinate Bench of this Court in CWP No.6167 of 2012, titled as

Sukru Ram Vs. State of H.P. and Others, decided on 06.03.2013,

along with connected matters, in a time bound manner.

2. Having regard to the nature of prayer made in the instant

petition and order proposed to be passed, this Court sees no

Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?

necessity to call for the reply on behalf of the respondents, who are

otherwise represented by Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional

Advocate General, who while accepting notice on behalf of the

respondents, fairly states that pending representation, if any, filed by

the petitioner shall be decided expeditiously in accordance with law.

3. Consequently, in view of the above, this Court without

going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the present

petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and decide the

pending representation (Annexure P-7) of the petitioner expeditiously,

preferably within a period of six weeks. Ordered accordingly.

Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in

terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of hearing to the

petitioner and pass detailed speaking order thereupon taking note of

the judgment rendered by Coordinate Bench of this Court in Sukru

Ram case (supra), wherein issue otherwise sought to be decided in

the instant proceedings already stands adjudicated. Liberty is

reserved to the petitioner to file appropriate proceedings in

appropriate Court of law, if he still remains aggrieved.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
