Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others. .. Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR, HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND. Present : Mr. V.K. Shukla, Advocate, for the petitioners. J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral) The solitary contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is, that the claim of the petitioners was not considered when persons junior to the petitioners were promoted to the posts of Lecturers in Chemistry on 17.04.2006. Dis-satisfied with the action of the respondents in promoting persons junior to the petitioners without considering their claim, the petitioners issued a number of representations followed by demand notice dated 20.01.2007 (Annexure P-6). Learned counsel for the petitioners states, that the petitioners will be satisfied, if the instant writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to respondent No.2 i.e. the Director Public Instructions (Secondary Education), Punjab, requiring him to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 20.01.2007 (Annexure P-6). Notice of motion. On our asking, Mr. Ashok Aggarwal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 and 2. CWP No. 3525 of 2007 2 Learned counsel for the respondents states, that he has no objection to the disposal of the instant writ petition in terms of the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners. In view of the above, without going into the merits of the claim raised by the petitioners, we consider it just and appropriate to dispose of the instant writ petition by directing respondent No.2 i.e. the Director Public Instructions (Secondary Education), Punjab, to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 20.01.2007 (Annexure P-6) by passing a well reasoned speaking order, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Disposed of accordingly. Order dasti on payment of usual charges. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge March 08, 2007 ( S.D. Anand ) vkd Judge
