Notice of motion.

Mr. R.S. Sidhu, AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of respondent nos. 1 and 3. Copy of the writ petition has been supplied to him in Court.

Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court is of the opinion that there is no need for the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, without commenting on the merits of the case the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 3 to take further action on the legal notice dated 01.08.2015 (Annexure P-5) which has been served upon respondent no. 2 within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. Needless to say if the relief is to be denied, a reasoned order be passed and conveyed to the petitioner. 05.02.2016 (G.S.
