CWP No.26655 of 2021 (O&M) Ms. Maloo Chahal, DAG, Punjab, who is present in Court, accepts notice on behalf of respondents, and raises no objection against the innocuous prayer of the petitioner.

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- Director Public Instructions (Secondary Education), Punjab, to consider and decide the aforesaid legal notice in accordance with law by passing a reasoned order within a period of 04 (four) months, positively, from the receipt of certified copy of this order. 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.
