VERSUS

STATE OF PUNJAB AND OTHERS .....Respondents

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI Present :

Mr. Manpreet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner.

Mr. Amit Kumar Goyal, Addl.A.G., Punjab.

KULDEEP TIWARI, J.(Oral)p 1.

The main grievance which propelled the present petitioner to approach this Court by casting instant petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, is the indolent and lackadaisical approach of the authority concerned, in not deciding his legal notice dated 18.12.2025 (Annexure P-21).

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that at this stage, the petitioner would be satisfied, in case a mandamus is passed upon respondents, to take a final decision on his legal notice (supra), in a time bound manner.

3.

On the other hand, learned State counsel submits that he has no objection, if the aforesaid direction is passed upon the respondent authorities.

CWP-16064-2026 -24.

In view of the above and considering the prayer, as made by learned counsel for the petitioner, being innocuous and bona fide, this Court, without observing anything on merits of the instant case, directs the competent authority amongst the respondents, to take a final decision on the legal notice (supra), by passing a speaking order, within a period of 08 weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. 5.

Disposed of accordingly.
