CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L.N. MITTAL PRESENT: Mr. J.S. Thind, Advocate for the petitioners. J.S. Khehar, J. (oral) The petitioners assert that they fulfil all the conditions and requirements prescribed in the Pharmacy Act, 1948, for registration as Pharmacists. It is also the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners, that the petitioners have submitted all requisite charges payable at their hands for such registration. Despite the aforesaid, it is alleged, that the claim of the petitioners for registration as Pharmacists is not being finally adjudicated upon. In this behalf, learned counsel for the petitioners has invited the Court's attention to a representation dated 5.1.2007 (Annexure P-16), allegedly submitted by the petitioners, claiming registration as Pharmacists. It is also the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners, that no decision has been taken thereon till date. CWP NO. 6925 of 2007 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners states, that the petitioners will be satisfied if the instant writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 i.e. the Registrar, Punjab Pharmacy Council, requiring him to take a final decision on the claim of the petitioners for registration as Pharmacists. In view of the innocuous prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, we consider it just and appropriate to dispose of the instant writ petition by directing respondent No.2 i.e. the Registrar, Punjab Pharmacy Council, to take final decision on the claim of the petitioners for registration as Pharmacists, by taking into consideration the claim raised by them, in their representation dated 5.1.2007 (Annexure P16). Respondent No.2 is expected to pass a well reasoned speaking order on the issue. Needful be done within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Disposed of accordingly. Order dasti, on payment of usual charges. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge ( L.N. Mittal ) May 10, 2007. Judge vig
