IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.10280 of 2011 Date of Decision : July 12, 2011. Jaspinder Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Ashish Verma, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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) The petitioners seek a mandamus for their appointment as Teaching Fellows on the basis of the selection process held pursuant to the Advertisement No.2 issued in September, 2007. It appears from the averments made in the writ petition that the respondent-authorities have been making appointments out of the selection list till May, 2010. However, the subsequent vacancies or the unfilled posts to the tune of 7041 have now been advertised vide advertisement dated 26.4.2011. Out of these, 516 posts are meant for District Tarn-Taran to which the petitioners belong. The petitioners' contention is that instead of filling these posts afresh, they should be given appointments pursuant to CWP No.10280 of 2011 [2] the previous selection process of 2007. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, I do not find any ground to interfere with the fresh advertisement. However, if the competent authority is of the view that the previous selection list is still operative or the petitioners, as per their merit position, can be given appointment, it shall be at liberty to consider their claim as contained in the representation dated 4.2.2011 (Annexure P-5) which may be considered and disposed of as early as possible and preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 12, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
