CWP(T) No. 4314/2008 (OA No. 843/97) 14.5.2009 Present: Mr. Dilip Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. Advocate General and Mr. R.P. Singh, Asstt. Advocate General for respondents. Record brought by Shri Karam Chand, Superintendent Office of Engineer-in-Chief, PWD, Shimla has been perused by the learned counsel. From letter dated 2.1.2007 as seen from the record it is evident that petitioner himself had filed another OA being 1088/1991 wherein a direction was issued to the respondent, office of the Executive Engineer to take action in accordance with law. The Engineer-in-Chief had requested the Principal Secretary (PWD) to examine the matter and take a decision thereupon at the earliest. Admittedly no decision has been taken till date. In this view of the matter Mr. Dilip Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that rather than pressing the petition at this stage his client would be satisfied if a decision pursuant to letter dated 2.1.2007 is taken by the respondent/State at the earliest. The respondents are directed to afford an adequate opportunity of representation/hearing to the petitioner and take a decision by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from today. Needless to add the order shall be communicated to the petitioner who shall be at liberty to assail the same if need so arises. Record returned back. Petition is disposed of. (Sanjay Karol), Judge.
