Amit Kumar Tiwari S/O Akhilesh Kumar Tiwari, R/O Mohalla Bharatpuri, Tehsil Ramnagar, Nainital, District Nainital. … Petitioner. Vs. State of Uttarakhand and two others. … Respondents. Sri Gopal Narain, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri K.P.Upadhyay, learned Addl. C.S.C. for the respondents-State. Date October 29, 2009. P.C.: Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to issue domicile certificate in favour of the petitioner within stipulated period. According to the petitioner, he moved an application in January 2009 before the respondent no.2 praying therein that the petitioner being a bona fide and permanent resident of Mohalla Bharatpuri may be issue domicile certificate and he had annexed all the relevant documents along with his application. The grievance of the petitioner is that his application for domicile certificate has not been disposed of by the respondent no.2 as yet. 2 In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that the ends of justice would be served if a direction is given to respondents to decide the application of the petitioner for issuance of domicile certificate, if the same is still pending and the writ petition may be disposed of today. Prayer is innocuous. The writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondent no.2/concerned authority to dispose of the domicile application, moved by the petitioner in accordance with Rules and the Government Orders, expeditiously preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order, if the same is still pending. All pending applications also stand disposed of. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP 3
