CWP No.

17791 of 2022 (O&M) -2At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners would be satisfied in case their representations/ legal notice are directed to be considered and decided by the respondent No.3 in accordance with law in a time bound manner.

Learned State counsel and learned counsel for the proposed respondents have no objection in case the representations/ legal notice served by the petitioners upon the respondent No.3 are directed to be decided by the competent authority in a time bound manner. The only apprehension of the learned counsel for the proposed respondents is that while doing so, the competent authority may not hear the grievance of the proposed respondents.

Learned State counsel, on instructions from Ms.Malkiat Kaur, J.A. from RTA, Bathinda, submits that while passing an appropriate order on the representations/ legal notice of the petitioners, all the stake holders would be heard in accordance with law and thereafter, an appropriate order shall be passed.

In view of the aforesaid, this petition is disposed of, thereby directing the respondent No.3 to decide the representations/ legal notice of the petitioners in accordance with law within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.

Since the main case is being disposed of, therefore, application under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC is also disposed of. (RAJ MOHAN SINGH) 23.02.2023 JUDGE anita Whether speaking/reasoned Yes/No ANITA DEVI 2023.02.24 10:19 I attest to the accuracy and autenticity of this jugejumenmt\order
