Verma, Additional Advocate Generals, with Mr. Ravi Chauhan, Deputy Advocate General, for respondents-State. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner would be content and satisfied in case direction is issued to respondent No. 1 to consider and decide his pending representation, whereby he has prayed for appointment on compassionate grounds on account of death of his father, who died in harness. 3. While putting in appearance on behalf of respondents, Mr. B.C.Verma, learned Additional Advocate General, fairly states that though petition at hand is hopelessly time barred, but yet pending representation, if any, of the petitioner shall be considered and decided expeditiously. 4. Consequently, in view of the aforesaid fair stand adopted by learned Additional Advocate General, coupled with the fact that petitioner has already filed representation for redressal of his grievance (Annexure P-16), this Court, without going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the present petition with a direction to respondent No. 1 to consider and decide the representation of the petitioner, 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 petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereafter. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. April 03, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil) Judge 2
