Accordingly, sought for interference of this Court. 3. Per contra, the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents submitted that, the respondent - Authorities will verify the original records and thereafter take a decision in the matter. 4.

In that view of the matter, following the declaration of law made by this Court in the - 7 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010755702024 NC: 2026:KHC:49744 WP No. 36170 of 2024 aforementioned judgment, respondent No.4 is directed to take a decision in the matter in furtherance of the order dated 21.07.2001 (Annexure-D) passed by the Regularization Committee, after verifying the original records, and thereafter take a decision in the matter, in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
