CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAVI SHANKER JHA, CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN PALLI

Present:

Mr. Mansur Ali, Advocate, for the petitioner.

Mr. Avinit Avasthi, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. (The aforesaid presence is being recorded through video conferencing since the proceedings are being conducted in virtual Court) * * * * RAVI SHANKER JHA, C.J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that similar orders as passed in CWP-1724-2022 on 02.02.2022 by this Court be passed in the present writ petition also as the present writ petition is identical to that petition. Mr. Avinit Avasthi, learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, appearing for the respondents, on advance copy, concedes the aforesaid factual position and submits that similar order be passed in this writ petition.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his prayer to issue a direction to the respondent-authorities to consider and decide the petitioner's representation (Annexure P-5) pending before them. Learned State counsel submits that the respondent-authorities shall consider and decide the petitioner's representation (Annexure P-5) by passing a reasoned order as far as possible within a week. In view of the aforesaid statement made by learned State counsel, we do not find any reason to entertain the present writ petition which is accordingly disposed of in terms of CWP-1724-2022.

It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case and, therefore, the authorities would be at liberty to examine the matter keeping all facts and facets into consideration and thereafter accept or reject the same in accordance with law.
