CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : JANUARY 9, 2009 Heard Shri Dharmadhikari, learned Counsel for the petitioners, Mrs. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondent nos1, 2, 3 and 5, Shri Mathur, learned Counsel holding for Shri Lahiri, learned Counsel for the respondent no.4, and Shri Manohar, learned Counsel for the respondent no.6. Civil Application No.7423/2008 is moved by the petitioners for necessary directions. Shri Dharmadhikari, learned Counsel for the petitioners, states that this Court vide order dated 29.7.2008 disposed of Writ Petition No.2930/2008 with a direction to the State Government to decide the representation of the petitioners within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the 2 representation. It is submitted that representation was filed by the petitioners on 4.8.2008, however, same has not been decided on its own merits and, therefore, necessary directions may kindly be issued. We have considered the contentions of the learned Counsel for the parties. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, it was incumbent on the State Government to decide the representation of the petitioners within a period of four weeks as stipulated in order dated 29.7.2008. However, learned Additional Government Pleader, for want of instructions, is unable to state whether the representation of the petitioners has been finally disposed of or not. Be that as it may, we dispose of the civil application by giving last chance to the State Government to decide the said representation within a period of three weeks from today, if not decided earlier, on its own merits in accordance with law.
