the respondents informs that there is no progress in the matter as the
issue is pending with the Department of Personnel and Training.

4.We would like to invite attention of the Cabinet Secretary to the
order dated 15.01.2024. When the matter was heard on 31.01.2024,

the matter. As such, this Court vide order dated 31.07.2024 has
expedited the procedure for appointment of the Presiding Officer of
the CGIT, Nagpur.
