Learned ASGI submits that the reply, if received, orders would be passed thereon within seven days from the date of receipt. 5. The said submission would answer the grievance of the petitioner inasmuch as the salaries, if any, being required to be paid would be in the first week of January. Hence, the orders, if any, passed by the respondents would be before that date. 6. Placing the submission of learned ASGI on record, the petition stands disposed of. 7. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the matter. SD/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE GJM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 27
