30.09.2022. In pursuance of the aforesaid order of suspension the petitioner submitted his reply on 18.10.2022 but till date no order has been passed, therefore, a direction may be issued to decide the objection within stipulated period. The learned Standing Counsel has no objection to the submission made by the counsel for the petitioner. No useful purpose would be served by keeping this petition pending in view of the order, which the Court proposes to pass hereunder. Without entering into the controversy involved in the writ petition, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to decide the aforesaid objection and pass final orders, in accordance with law, by a speaking and reasoned order after considering the objection as filed by the petitioner, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months from the date of producing a certified copy of this order before the concerned authority, if there is no other legal impediment. It is made clear that this Court has not examined the merits of the claim of the petitioner and the authority concerned shall apply its own mind strictly in accordance with law.
