A.G., Haryana accepts noce on behalf of the respondents-State. 5. Learned State counsel submits that Smt. Ritu Sharma has already been transferred and in her place, Shri Vikas Narwal, Deputy Transport Controller, who is a technical person has been appointed at the aforesaid post. Learned State counsel has placed on record the copy of the order dated 26.08.2026 passed by the Commissioner & Secretary to Government of Haryana Transport Department, Chandigarh, in this regard. 6.
