He has assured this Court that in future, all communications addressed to the Department by the High Court or Advocate General's office shall be responded quickly. In view of above, his appearance is exempted. He has also filed an affidavit on record, which reads thus: “1. That Draft reciprocal Transport Agreement between Utter Pradesh and Haryana had been prepared and signed by both the States. The Haryana State has already notified draft agreement on 5.9.2008 for inviting objections/ suggestions. 2. That the objections/ suggestions so received, to decide the CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 6716 OF 2009 -2- objections, an opportunity of personal hearing was also afforded on 17.10.2008. 3. That the objections received have also been decided by the Financial Commissioner & Principal Secretary to Govt. Haryana on 24.2.2009. 4. That though the State of Haryana and State of Uttar Pradesh have agreed on the finalization of the reciprocal agreement (draft signed on 22.7.2008), yet some operational issues are in the final stages of being settled. Therefore, agreement will be finalized and signed very soon.” Shri Mathur further admits that process to implement reciprocal agreement between the States of Haryana and U.P. is not yet complete. He has assured this Court that till such time the agreement is legally implemented, nobody shall be allowed to ply a bus(es), under cover of that agreement and if there exists some earlier arrangement to ply buses on the routes in question, the same shall not be disturbed. This satisfies the petitioner. Writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. July 16, 2009 ( Jasbir Singh ) DKC Judge
