JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI Present : Mr. Saurav Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Sahil R. Bakshi, AAG, Punjab. KULDEEP TIWARI, J.(Oral) 1. The main grievance which propelled the present petitioner 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 taking final decision on his application dated 27.08.2021, and legal notice dated 07.11.2025 (Annexures P-2 and P-3 respectively). 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that at this stage, the petitioner would be satisfied, in case a mandamus is passed upon respondents, to take a final decision on his application and representation (supra), in a time bound manner. 3. On the other hand, learned State counsel, on instructions from Mr. Baljinder Singh Dhillon, Secretary, RTA, Jalandhar, submits that he has no objection, if the aforesaid direction is passed upon the respondent authorities.
