CWP No.2537 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.2537 of 2009 Date of Decision : 25.03.2009 Ishwar Singh ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present:- Mr. Johan Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana. AJAY TEWARI J. On 17.02.2009, following order was passed:- “The argument of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner has to retire in one year and is an aspirant for the post of the Assistant Director in Forensic Science Laboratory. His case is not being considered only on the ground that the draft rules have not yet been approved. It is his assertion that these draft rules have now been pending with the department for the past almost three years and thus it would be in the interest of justice to direct the respondents to finalise the same within a reasonable period so that at least the claim of the petitioner can be considered. CWP No.2537 of 2009 -2- Notice of motion. Mr. Harish Rathee, Senior DAG, Haryana accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to supply four copies of the writ petition to the learned Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana during the course of the day. Mr. Rathee prays for four weeks' time to file the written statement. Replication, if any, be filed within two weeks thereafter. To come up on 17.3.2009.” In the written statement, the stand taken is that the case of the petitioner would be considered as and when the rules will be approved. However, no time frame has been mentioned within which the rule will be finally considered. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that he restricts his prayer to the extent that a direction be issued to respondent No.1 to finalize the rules within any reasonable time. I find this to be a fair request. In the circumstances, respondent No.1 is directed to take a final decision on the draft rules within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Accordingly, this petition stands disposed of. March 25, 2009 ( AJAY TEWARI ) ashish JUDGE
