(Delay Condonation Application No. 3348 of 2008 & Review Application No.612 of 2008) Sri Lalit Miglani, learned counsel for the applicant- petitioner and Sri K.P.Upadhyay, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State-respondents no. 1 and 3. This is an application for review of the order dated 24- 10-2007 passed in Writ Petition No. 2082 of 2007 (M/S) whereby the writ petition was disposed of finally with the following direction:- “The Collector Dehradun is directed to decide the recovery proceedings drawn in pursuance of the order passed by the Deputy Labour Commissioner expeditiously as far as possible.” The review application has been filed with a prayer that some time limit may be fixed for the Collector Dehradun to conclude the recovery proceedings because so far the recovery proceedings have not been concluded despite the order dated 24-10- 2007 passed by this Court. The review application is accompanied by an application for condonation of delay. 2 Grounds shown in the affidavit are sufficient to make out a case for condonation of delay in moving the application. The application is allowed and the delay in filing review application is condoned. The contention of the learned counsel for the applicant-petitioner is that the recovery proceedings are still pending though a period of approximately eight months has elapsed so far, therefore, some time frame be fixed for the learned Collector Dehradun to conclude the recovery proceedings. In the circumstances of the case, the review application deserves to be allowed and the order deserves to be modified. The review application is allowed. The order dated 24-10-2007 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 2082 of 2007 (M/S) Rajbir Singh Vs. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Garhwal Region, Dehradun and two others, is modified. It is directed that the Collector Dehradun shall conclude the recovery proceedings drawn in pursuance of the order passed by Deputy Labour Commissioner expeditiously as far as possible preferably within a period of four months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. This order shall form part of earlier order dated 24-10- 2007. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP 3 4
