J.S. Khehar, J. (oral) The claim raised by the petitioner in the instant writ petition pertains to reglarisation of the period of his suspension from 20.11.1985 to 6.8.1986, and for the grant of benefits under the assured career progression scheme on the completion of 8, 16, 24 and 32 years of service, and for certain other allied issues. On the same controversy, as has been raised by the petitioner in the instant writ petition, he is stated to have issued a legal notice dated 17.4.2006. It is, however, pointed out that no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner will be satisfied if the instant writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 i.e. the Chief Engineer, Central Works, PWD (B&R) Patiala, requiring him to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 17.4.2006 (Annexure P1). Notice of motion. CWP NO. 14468 OF 2006 2 On our asking, Mr. Ashok Aggarwal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice. Learned counsel for the respondents states that he has no objection to the disposal of the instant writ petition in terms of the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. In view of the above, without going into the merits of the claim raised by the petitioner, we consider it just and appropriate to dispose of the instant writ petition by directing respondent No.2 i.e. the Chief Engineer, Central Works, PWD (B&R) Patiala, to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 17.4.2006 (Annexure P1) by passing a well reasoned speaking order within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. In case the petitioner is found entitled to any monetary benefits, the same shall be calculated and released to the petitioner within a further period of one month. Disposed of accordingly.
