IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 4140 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 18.03.2009 Dharam Pal Gautam .... PETITIONER Versus Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Anurag Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner, who is working as Assistant Foreman with Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited, has filed this petition challenging the order dated 31.12.2008 (Annexure P-9), whereby his promotion to the post of Junior Engineer has been withheld due to the pendency of one charge sheet against him. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the proceedings of the said charge sheet against the petitioner were finalised vide order dated 10.12.2008 (Annexure P-4), and a punishment of stoppage of one annual increment without future effect was imposed. It is further case of the petitioner that while withholding his promotion, the said order was not taken into consideration by the authorities. Learned counsel further CWP No. 4140 of 2009 -2- contends that after getting knowledge of the said withholding of his promotion, the petitioner made a representation dated 17.1.2009 (Annexure P-12) raising his grievance in this regard. According to the learned counsel, the said representation has not been considered and decided so far. After hearing counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, without issuing notice of motion to the respondents, as it will un-necessary delay the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the said representation (Annexure P-12) and take a decision on the same expeditiously in accordance with law.
