HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** CWP No.16472 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 05.09.2011 **** Kulwant Singh & Anr. . . . . Petitioners VS. State of Punjab & Ors. . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** Present: Mr. Sushil Saini, Advocate for the petitioners **** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioners who were Home Guard volunteers have been discharged vide order dated 02.12.2004 (Annexure P1) on account of their alleged indiscipline behaviour. An enquiry was also conducted in the year 2007. The petitioners now rely upon a recent decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 10.09.2010 in the case of Davinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab & Ors. (Annexure P5) wherein the services of the similarly-placed Home Guard Volunteers have been ordered to be reinstated. (2). The petitioners, in this regard, have represented the authorities on 03.10.2010 (Annexure P4) but to no effect. (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners as contained in their representation (Annexure P4) and dispose of the same in the light of afore-cited judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court by passing a speaking order within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (4). Ordered accordingly. Dasti. CWP No.16472 of 2011.doc - 2 – 05.09.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge 2
