JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI Present : Mr. Nitesh Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sahil R. Bakshi, AAG, Punjab. KULDEEP TIWARI, J.(Oral) 1. The main grievance which propelled the present petitioners to approach this Court by casting instant petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, is the indolent and lackadaisical approach of the authority concerned, in not deciding their legal notice dated 21.04.2026 (Annexure P-15). 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that at this stage, the petitioners would be satisfied, in case a mandamus is passed upon respondents, to take a final decision on their legal notice (supra), in a time bound manner. 3. On the other hand, learned State counsel, who is present in Court, on an advance notice, submits that he has no objection, if the aforesaid direction is passed upon the respondent authorities.
