Careful perusal of aforesaid order/judgment, sought to be executed in the instant proceedings, reveals that Division Bench of this Court, while disposing of the petition, directed the competent authority to decide the case of the petitioner afresh by taking into

Since, despite there being specific direction to do the needful, as taken note hereinabove, respondents have failed to do so, petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings.

Mr. Rajan Kahol, 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 judgment/ order must have been complied with, but if not, same would be complied with within a period of three weeks from today.

Consequently, in view of the fair statement made 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 in terms of order/judgment dated 11.05.2026 passed by Division Bench of this Court positively within a period of three weeks, if not already done, failing which, petitioner would be at liberty to get the present proceedings revived, so that appropriate action, in accordance with
