2.

After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner would be satisfied, if suitable directions are issued to the Reference Court to dispose of the reference within a stipulated period as he is suffering great hardship on account of non-payment of wages and reinstatement into service.

3.

In view of the afore-said submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and also considering that the reference in question is pending since 2016; accordingly, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the present writ petition with a direction to the learned Tribunal below, where the matter is pending, to decide the main reference expeditiously and preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.

4.

The instant petition is disposed of in the afore-stated terms. November 22, 2023 (HARSH BUNGER) gurpreet JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned:
