CWP-7594-1999 (O&M) -23.

A period of 26 years from the date of passing of impugned order has passed away. It is further disputed whether writ is maintainable against the respondent because divergent opinions of Courts are available. 4.

Considering the aforesaid facts and judgment of Supreme Court in Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences and another v. Bikartan Das and others, 2023 SCC Online SC 996, this Court does not find it appropriate to adjudicate the matter on merit.

5.

Dismissed.

Pending Misc. application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. (JAGMOHAN BANSAL) JUDGE 08.05.2025 paramjit Whether speaking/reasoned: Yes Whether reportable:
