Malkit Singh .....Petitioner versus The Sutlej Gramin Bank and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.A.K.Walia, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 petitioner is working as a Clerk-cum-Cashier in respondent No.1-bank. His grievance is that while promoting his junior, namely, respondent No.2 to the post of Officer Scale-I, the claim of the petitioner has not been considered even though he fulfills the minimum bench mark for such promotion. It is pointed out that one Suresh Kumar who is junior to the petitioner and has participated alongwith him in the promotion process in the years 2006-2007 has been promoted on May 31, 2010 but the petitioner has been denied the same relief though he has represented the authorities time and again including vide representation dated 3.10.2010 (Annexure P-10). C.W.P.No .6128 of 2011 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on his entitlement, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1-bank to consider the claim of the petitioner as contained in his above-mentioned representation and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. If the petitioner is found entitled to, he shall be promoted within the above stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. April 06, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
