Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner was working as a Arts and Craft Teacher and has retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.5.2008. Now he has come forward to claim the Selection Grade (while in service). He is stated to have made a representation to the authorities on 15.7.2009 (Annexure P-11) but without any response. Without expressing any view on the merits of the petitioner's claim and that too at this belated stage, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner, as contained in the representation dated 15.7.2009 (Annexure P-11), and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order as C.W.P.No .656 of 2010 (O&M) 2 early as possible, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Disposed of. Dasti. 15-01-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
