At that point of time petitioners wanted a direction upon the respondents for their enlistment as an approved contractors for limited tenders floated by the railway authorities from time to time. The Writ Court vide order dated 23.7.2004 passed order on the submissions of the parties that the case of the petitioners may be considered for enlistment by the respondents. The position did not change. Petitioners have come back before the High Court a second time over in the present writ application. In other words, the earlier 2 observation and order of the Court is of no consequence or effect so far as respondents are concerned. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. Many a things have been stated therein on the issue. The scheme has also been explained but there is nothing to indicate as to why petitioners are not being enlisted or they are not fit to be enlisted. There is only a kind of assurance with regard to decision. Action of the respondents being Central Government Department is not appreciable by this Court. A better sense of responsibility and response to the Court’s order and directions are required. The writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the General Manager, East Central Railway, Hajipur (respondent No.2) that he shall ensure that a final decision is communicated to the petitioners this time within a limited time frame of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order with necessary request of the petitioners in this regard. The writ application is disposed of with the above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
