IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.12573 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 20, 2010. Sukhjant Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.H.C.Arora, 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 was working as a Work Supervisor in the Municipal Corporation, Bathinda. After holding a departmental enquiry, he was dismissed from service vide order dated 24.4.2008 (Annexure P1). The petitioner has preferred a departmental appeal on 22.5.2008 (Annexure P-2) against the above mentioned dismissal order. His grievance is that though more than two years have passed, the Appellant Authority-respondent No.3 has not decided the appeal so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No.3 to decide the petitioner's appeal after giving him an opportunity of personal C.W.P.No .12573 of 2010 2 hearing, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. As regards the petitioner's eviction from the government accommodation, he may move an application for stay before the authorities who shall then consider and decide the same within a period of two weeks. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 20, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
