IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH CWP-6091-2025 Date of Decision : March 11, 2025 RAKESH KUMAR AND OTHERS -PETITIONERS V/S STATE OF HARYANA AND OTHERS -RESPONDENTS

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI

Present:

Mr. Lokesh Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners.

Mr. Bhupender Singh, D.A.G., Haryana.

Mr. Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate for the respondent No.3.

*** KULDEEP TIWARI, J. (ORAL) 1.

The lackadaisical and indolent approach of the respondent No.2 in not taking prompt action on the petitioners' complaint dated 13.02.2025 (Annexure P-5) has driven the petitioners to institute the instant writ petition, thereby seeking issuance of directions upon the respondent(s) concerned to take action on the complaint (supra) in a time bound manner.

2.

On the last date of hearing, i.e. 05.03.2025, this Court had directed the learned State counsel to have instructions from the authority concerned as to how much time is required to take decision on the complaint (supra).

3.

In deference to the directions (supra), today the learned State counsel has informed this Court that, two months' time would be required to make final decision on the complaint (supra). DEVINDER YADAV 2025.03.11 18:26 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment

CWP-6091-2025 4.

At this stage, the learned counsel for the respondent No.3 submits that, institution of the present writ petition is nothing but a pressure tactic adopted by the petitioners inasmuch as the complaint (supra) is already under examination before the competent authority. 5.

This Court has heard the learned counsels for the parties at length.

6.

Be that as it may, at this stage, this Court is not examining the veracity of the allegations encapsulated in the complaint (supra) inasmuch as this exercise has to be carried out by the respondent No.2, who is seized of the complaint (supra). Moreover, the sole grievance of the petitioners, as sketched in the present writ petition, is that no decision has been made on their complaint. Therefore, without observing anything in respect of the respective claims of the parties, this Court deems it appropriate to direct the respondent No.2 to make final decision on the complaint (supra) within two months from today, but, after giving due opportunity of hearing to all concerned.

7.

Disposed of accordingly.
