JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA. PRESENT: MR. SURMUKH SINGH, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONER. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner applied for the post of Lecturer in Hindi in response to advertisement No.1/October and the petitioner was selected for the said post. His name was recommended for the post as Hindi Lecturer, however, the appointment could not be made as the Gram Panchayat elections had been announced. Learned counsel submits that now the Gram Panchayat elections are over and therefore, there is no reason why the appointment letter as Hindi Lecturer be not issued to the petitioner. In this respect the petitioner has also filed legal notice (Annexure P-11) which has not been responded to so far by the respondents. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to take a final decision on the legal notice (Annexure P-11) within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
