( Oral ) The petitioner bank has filed this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuing direction to the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Punjab, Chandigarh (respondent No.2 herein) to grant approval to the newly created posts, in accordance with law. It is stated that in this regard, the petitioner bank has submitted an application dated 3.4.2007 to respondent No.2, copy of which has been annexed as Annexure P-7. It is further case of the petitioner bank that in spite of the expiry of more than one and half years, respondent No.2 has not taken a decision either to sanction the additional posts according to the restructuring of the staffing pattern already approved by the Registrar nor the Registrar is allowing the CWP No. 18802 of 2008 -2- petitioner bank to fill in the vacant posts which already stand sanctioned. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner bank and going through the contents of the petition, without issuing notice of motion, as it will un-necessary delay the matter, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to look into the application (Annexure P-7) of the petitioner, in accordance with law, and take a decision expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from today.
