195 of 2020 I granted liberty to the petitioner to file representation before the Committee headed by the Chief Secretary/Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Meghalaya within the period of 30 (thirty) days from the date of the order for considering them as untainted teachers and the said Committee was directed to examine the petitioner’s representation and take decision within the period of 60 days from the date of the receipt of the representation. Admittedly, the petitioner in WP(C) No. 195 of 2020 have made representation within the period of 30 days of the order i. e. 22-09-2020. However, Committee has failed to decide the representation till date. The present application is filed by the State of Meghalaya for extension of the period for taking decision on the said representation by further 60 days. Mr. A. Kumar, learned AG submits that as many as 260 representations have been filed in pursuant to the order in WP(C) No. 195 of 2020.
He further submits that it will take some more time to decide the same. Mr. S. Khurshid, learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner in WP(C) No. 195 of 2020 submits that he has no objection to extend the period for taking decision on the said representation by further 60 days. In the light of the concession given by Mr. S. Khurshid, learned Senior Counsel, I allow this Misc. Case in terms of the prayer Clauses A & B. It is made clear that no further extension would be granted. Judge Meghalaya 10. 12. 2020 “Biswarup PS”
