Accordingly, the impugned order is modified to the extent that the Head of the Department is not required to attend the proceedings. However, I am assured by the petitioner that the directions for for filing written response as made by the Lok Adalat would be strictly followed and a duly authorised officer would be present for an effective disposal of the matter. The written response as directed will be filed within one week from today. Since the I matter is listed tomorrow, it would be appropriate if a request for adjournment is made on behalf of the petitioner which is needless to say would be considered favourably by the Lok Adalat. Accordingly this writ Certify that the digital and physical file have been compared and the digital data is as per the physical file and no page is missing. petition stands disposed of.
