Mr.B.S.Chahal, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 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) Notice of motion. Mr.B.S.Chahal, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of the order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner is serving as a Head Constable in the Punjab Police. His grievance is that while his juniors have been deputed to undergo Intermediate School Course, the petitioner has been left out in a discriminatory manner though as per the List C-1, he has a preferential right to undergo such course. In this regard, the petitioner has already made a representation to the Competent Authority on 7.4.2010 (Annexure C.W.P.No .7606 of 2010 2 P-3). It is pointed out that since the Intermediate Course has already commenced, there is an urgency in adjudication of the petitioner's claim. This Court, vide an order dated 4.3.2010 passed in C.W.P.No.566 of 2010 (Ranjit Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others), has constituted an Officers Committee consisting (i) Shri Parag Jain, IPS, IGP/Head Quarters, Punjab Police; (ii) Smt.Gurpreet Kaur Deo, IPS, DIG, Administration, Punjab Police Headquarters; and (iii) Shri M.S.Gill, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, to consider and redress the grievances of the police personnel like the petitioner in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the aforesaid Officers Committee to consider the claim of the petitioner in accordance with the Rules/Policies as well as the facts pleaded in the writ petition and take an appropriate decision within a period of two weeks from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. It is made clear that in case the Officers' Committee accepts the claim of the petitioner, he shall either be deputed to undergo the Intermediate School Course forthwith or in the next course to be held at the earliest, but without effecting his seniority. However, if the petitioner is dis-satisfied with the decision of the Committee, he shall be at liberty to seek redressal of his grievance before an appropriate forum. Dasti.
