that he is having instructions to seek time to file reply in the matter. However, learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants will be

satisfied if the present OA is disposed with direction to the respondents to consider the applicants’ aforesaid representations and to dispose of the

same by passing an appropriate speaking and reasoned order in a time bound manner.

We have considered the submissions made by the learned counsels for the parties. We are of the considered view that if the request of the

applicants to dispose of the OA at this stage with direction to the respondents to consider the aforesaid representations is accepted, no prejudice will

be caused to the respondents. The respondents can well communicate their decision about the claim of the applicants in their speaking order. Learned

counsel Sh. Ajesh Luthra also submits that the applicants are similarly placed and the relief sought by them are also identical.

claim of the applicants, the present OA is hereby disposed of with direction to the respondents to consider the aforesaid representations of the

applicants (Annexure A-10) and to dispose of the same by passing a reasoned and speaking order as expeditiously as possible and in any case within

ten weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The OA is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. No order as to costs.
