Learned counsel, on instructions from the petitioner submitted that instead of pressing the present petition on merits, his client would be satisfied in case the representation dated 10.02.2021 (P-4A) followed by two other reminders dated 25.02.2021 & 02.03.2022 (P-5 & P-6, respectively) are decided expeditiously.

CWP No.8224 of 2022 In view of the agreed stand taken by both sides, but without going into the merits of the controversy, this writ petition is disposed off with direction to respondent No.2-Punjab Public Service Commission, Patiala, to consider and decide the aforesaid representations in accordance with law by passing a reasoned order on or before 04.05.2022. Needless to say that in case there is a failure on the part of competent authority, petitioner would be at liberty to move an appropriate application for revival of this writ petition and the same shall be considered as per law.
