Considering the above factual aspect of the matter and look- ing to the fact that recommendation has been made in favour of the petitioner for removing the hold of the petitioner institution, the instant writ petition stands disposed of with direction to the respondents to take a decision upon the recommendation, expedi- [2025:RJ-JP:26299] (3 of 3) [CW-9706/2025] tiously as early as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from today. 6.
