(Oral) Learned counsel representing the petitioners, on instructions, states that petitioners would be content and satisfied in case their representations are considered and decided in the light of judgments passed by Coordinate Bench of this Court in CWP No. 7602 of 2010-I titled as Om Parkash Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh & Ors. and CWPOA No. 2782 of 2019 titled as Narinder Singh Thakur and others Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others. 2. While putting in appearance on behalf of respondents, Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General, states that he is not averse to aforesaid innocuous prayer made on behalf of the petitioners and representation, if any, filed by the petitioners shall be considered and decided expeditiously. 3. Consequently, in view of the aforesaid fair stand adopted by learned Additional Advocate General, coupled with the fact that petitioners have already filed representation for redressal of their grievance (Annexure P-7), this Court, without going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the present petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and decide the representation of the petitioners in light of judgments passed by Coordinate Bench of this Court in Om Parkash and Narinder Singh (supra), expeditiously, preferably within a period of four weeks. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners and pass speaking order thereafter. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. July 18, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil) Judge 2
