Whether approved for reporting?No For the Petitioner: Mr. Shrawan Dogra, Senior Advocate with Mr. Manik Sethi, Advocate. For the Respondents: Ms. Sunita Sharma, Senior Advocate with Mr. Dhananjay Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr. Vinay Mehta, Advocate for respondent No.2. ________________________________________________________ Tarlok Singh Chauhan, Judge (Oral) Notice. Mr. Dhananjay Sharma and Mr. Vinay Mehta, Advocates, appear and waive service of notice on behalf of the respective respondents. 2. A perusal of the order sheet that has been annexed with the petition as Annexure P2 would go to show that respondent No.2 is unnecessarily adjourning the matter. 3. However, taking into consideration the fact that the case is now fixed for 25.04.2025, I deem it appropriate to direct the Ombudsman to decide the case finally on the said date. Ordered 2 ( 2025:HHC:10271 ) accordingly. Till such decision, the respondents shall not insist upon the petitioner for the payment of the bill to the extent of amount claimed by the petitioner in terms of the order passed by the Ombudsman. 4. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Tarlok Singh Chauhan) Judge April 11, 2025 (yogesh/krt)
