State of Himachal Pradesh & Ors.
2. Careful perusal of aforesaid order/judgment, sought to be executed in the present proceedings, reveals that this Court, while allowing the writ petition, directed the respondents to process the case of the petitioner afresh on the basis of application submitted in the year, 2006 and thereafter, same shall be considered in terms of Policy in vogue at the time of death of the father of the petitioner. 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?
2 Since, despite there being specific direction to do the needful, as taken note herein above, respondents failed to comply with the
judgment, petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings.
3. Mr. Vishal Panwar, learned Additional Advocate General, while accepting notice on behalf of the respondents, states that though he has every reason to believe and presume that by now aforesaid order, sought to be executed, must have been complied with, but if not, same would be complied with within a period of four weeks from today.
4. Consequently, in view of the afore undertaking given by learned Additional Advocate General, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and as such, same is accordingly
disposed of with the direction to the respondents to do the needful, positively within a period of four weeks from today, if not already done, failing which, petitioner would be at liberty to get the present proceedings revived, so that appropriate action, in accordance with law, is taken towards implementation of the judgment/ order, sought to be executed in the instant proceedings.
