29.11.2007 Present: Mr. Neel Kamal Sood, counsel for the Petitioner. Mr. Sunit Goel, counsel for respondents 1 to 3. Mr. Haminder Chandel, counsel for Respondent No.4. CWP No. 1622/07. This writ petition is directed against the refusal of the learned H.P. State Administrative Tribunal, to pass interim orders in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner as well as the private respondents have applied for the post of Junior Scientific Assistant in the H.P. Environment Protection and Control Board, Shimla. The allegation of the petitioner is that respondent No.4 herein did not fulfill the requisite qualifications on the last date of submission of the applications and secondly that all other respondents were lower in merit than her. We at this stage would not go into the merits of the case since the learned Tribunal is seized of the matter. However, we feel that since the appointment of the private respondents is on year to year basis and the very purpose of filing the Original Application is defeated if the OA is allowed to continue and linger on for many years. The dispute is not very difficult to decide and, therefore, we request the learned Tribunal to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible and in any event not later than 11th January, 2008. The petitioner may file a copy of this order before the learned Tribunal. The writ petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. Dasti copy. ( Deepak Gupta ), ACJ. November 29, 2007.
