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] The petitioners are working as Senior Assistants in the Education Department, Government of Punjab. They seek a Mandamus to direct the respondents to promote them as Superintendents Grade II with consequential benefits like re-fixation of pay etc. The petitioners' case is that they are entitled to be promoted as Superintendent Grade II in the light of the Supreme Court decision in Saroj Rani vs State of Punjab, 1999[4] SCT, 80 as their juniors have already been promoted as such. It is alleged that the claim of the petitioners is not being considered despite repeated representations including dated 03.09.2008, 06.08.2009 and 3.12.2009 [Annexures P-4 to P-6]. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No. 2 to consider the claim of the petitioners for their promotion as Superintendent Grade-II and if found entitled to, to pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is received.
