body2016
JUDGMENT : Mansoor Ahmad Mir, J. This appeal is directed against the judgment and order, dated 8th December, 2014, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No.2633 of 1995, titled Chander Pal Singh and another vs. Union of India & others, whereby the writ petition came to be disposed of with a direction to the writ respondents/appellants to process and settle the claim within a period of two months, (for short, the impugned judgment). 2. It is apt to reproduce the relevant portion of the impugned judgment hereunder: “…………Therefore it is deemed it fit, just and expedient that the claim admittedly instituted by the predecessor-in-interest of the petitioners herein, be processed and settled by the respondents within a period of two months hereafter. In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of, as also the pending applications, if any.” 3. It is apparent from the perusal of the operative portion of the impugned judgment, referred to above, that the writ respondents/appellants have been directed to process and settle the claim of the predecessor-in-interest of the petitioners as per law applicable. Therefore, it is astonishing why the appellants/writ respondents chose to file the instant appeal. 4. Having glance of the above, there is no merit in the instant appeal and the same is dismissed, alongwith pending CMPs, if any. Consequently, the impugned judgment is upheld.
