Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, on instructions, states that the petitioners case is squarely covered by the judgment dated 3.8.2023, passed in CWP No. 2004 of 2017, titled Taj Mohammad v. State of Himachal Pradesh and as such, she would be content and satisfied in case directions are issued to the respondents to consider and decide the representation (Annexure P-3 colly) having been filed by the petitioners in a time bound manner.

Mr. Vishal Panwar, learned Additional Advocate General, while putting appearance on behalf of the respondents, fairly states
1Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?
2 that he is not averse to aforesaid innocuous prayer made on behalf of the petitioner.
3.
Consequently, in view of the above, 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 pending representation (Annexure P-3 colly) of the petitioners expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks in light of Taj Mohammad case (supra). Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners and pass a speaking order thereupon. Liberty is reserved to the petitioners to file appropriate proceedings in appropriate court of law, if they still remain aggrieved. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
