IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP. No. 17736 of 2010 Date of Decision: 30.9.2010. Tej Ram Dagar --Petitioner Versus Chief Administrator, H.S.A.M.B --Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI. Present:- Mr. J.S. Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) Notice of motion. Mr. Ajay Nara, Advocate present in the Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondents. Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioner was appointed as a Clerk in the respondent- corporation as a general category candidate, where he joined on 24.1.1983. His seniority was at Sr. No. 130 in the gradation list. One Shashi Kant belonging to B.C category was also appointed along with the petitioner and on the basis of merit, his name figured at Sr. No.142 in the gradation list but he being a reserved category candidate earned accelerated promotion on roster points to the post of S.D.C on 7.12.1989. The petitioner was later on promoted as S.D.C on his turn on 6.10.2000. The grievance of the petitioner is that Shashi Kant who was admittedly junior to the petitioner was placed in higher pay scale on account of his earlier accelerated promotion and the petitioner on his promotion has been denied the CWP. No. 17736 of 2010 -2- emoluments at par with his junior Shashi Kant. The petitioner has basically placed reliance upon the judgement of Ajit Singh Janjua-II and a subsequent judgement of this Court passed in CWP No. 5956 of 2008. The petitioner has made a representation (Annexure P-1) and also served a legal notice (Annexure P-2) but no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied, if, respondents are directed to take decision on the representation/legal notice served by the petitioner, referred to above. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents to take decision on the representation/legal notice served by the petitioner in the light of the judgements, referred to herein above, within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the competent authority. Needless to say that in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, the same shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 30.9.2010. lucky
