It has been averred in the petition that afore application is pending since 16.03.2023, but till date no reply to the same has been filed by the opposite party, as a result thereof, the same has not been decided. 3. Mr. Rajesh Kashyap, Advocate, has put in appearance on behalf of respondents No.2 & 3. He states that he shall have no objection in case direction, as sought, is issued to the competent authority for expeditious disposal of the application. 4. Having regard to the nature of prayer and order proposed to be passed in the instant proceedings, this Court sees no necessity to issue notice to respondent No.1, who otherwise in any eventuality would be given opportunity of being heard by the learned Senior Civil Judge, Court No.1, Amb, District Una, Himachal Pradesh, while deciding the application filed under Order VII Rule 11 CPC in terms of instant order. 5.
