Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The order in challenge in the writ petition is an order dated 27.12.1988, which is in the form of a notice issued by the Principal of the 4th respondent-College stating that the college would remain open for Saturdays during vacation periods. The nature of relief asked for in the writ petition can have no relevance now for this length of time. It is not known as to what came of the notice and whether it was persisted or not. Suffice, it to observe that the content of the notice shall have no relevance for the present. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the State points out to me C.W.P. No.9884 of 1989 -2- that the contention of the petitioner was that the notice itself would not apply to the petitioner, who was a Librarian and who was a non- teaching staff. In the letter of the Director, Education Department (C), Punjab for releasing grant under 95% Scheme, after inspection, a classification of the teaching staff and the non-teaching staff had been made and the Librarian had been shown in the category of teaching staff. Accordingly, the basis of the petitioner itself becomes legally suspect and unavailable to him. 3. The writ petition is dismissed. No costs. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE April 07, 2010 Pankaj*
