In view of the above, this Court directs the respondent no.1-State of Haryana, as well as respondent no.2-Municipal Corporation, Panchkula, to ensure that a committee in terms of the notification dated 08.10.2020, is constituted positively, within a period of 08 weeks from the date of passing of this order.
