(Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.Kundu, Addl.A.G., Haryana who is present in Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of the respondents. Keeping in view the prayer made and with the consent of the counsel, this petition is disposed of at motion stage. The petitioner is aggrieved of the show cause notice dated 1.1.2010 (Annexure P-6) whereby he has been asked to show cause as to why he should not be compulsorily retired at the age of 55 years in terms of Rule 3.26 (d) of Punjab Civil Services, Vol.I, Part-I. Three months notice has been given to him to show cause. The petitioner has already submitted his CWP No.2891 of 2010 2 reply to the show-cause vide Annexure P-7. Mr.Gupta submits that he may be permitted to supplement the reply. The petitioner is permitted to supplement the reply within one week. Since the petitioner has only been issued a show-cause notice asking his reply, it is not deemed appropriate to interfere at this stage. The petition is premature. However, Mr.Gupta submits that he would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to take decision on the show cause notice. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to take decision on the show-cause notice within one month from the date of receipt of supplementary reply by the petitioner, by passing a reasoned and speaking order.
