Though the period of one month has not expired, but it would expire Sayyed 1/2 2026:BHC-AUG:37886-DB 919-WP.10547.2026.doc tomorrow. It is on the apprehension that the respondents may take any adverse action as the protection granted by this Court was only for a period of one month, and therefore the petitioner has approached this Court. 5. The learned AGP, on instructions from the officer of the Committee who is personally present in the Court informs that hearing is already completed and only judgment is to be pronounced.
