Present : Mr.Girish Agnihotri, Senior Advocate with Mr.Arvind Seth, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.B.S.Chahal, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.B.S.Chahal, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of the order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. This Court vide order dated 13.1.2010 (Annexure P-6) passed in Civil Writ Petition No.406 of 2010 filed by the petitioners, has already directed the respondents to dispose of their objections against the seniority C.W.P.No .8040 of 2010 2 list and finalize the same by passing a speaking order within a period of four months. It appears that though the petitioners have been heard in pursuance to these directions, however, without taking a final decision on their objections, the authorities have decided to convene a meeting of the Departmental Promotion Committee and make promotions to the available posts of Tehsildars. This has prompted the petitioners to file this second writ petition. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and in view of the directions already issued on 13.1.2010 (Annexure P-6), this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that no promotion to the posts of Tehsildars shall be made till the seniority list is finalized in terms of the order dated 13.1.2010 already passed by this Court in CWP No.406 of 2010. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 05, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
