The prayer is innocuous. Consequently, I direct the Chief Executive Officer, Uttarakhand Khadi Avam Udhyog Board, Dehradun/ respondent no. 2 to take decision on the recommendations made by the Regional Superintendent Industries (Wool) Almora dated 7th December 2006, within a period of one month from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
