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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner claims that the post of Munim occupied by him in the respondent-department be treated at par with Senior Assistants for the purpose of promotion to the post of Assistant Taxation Inspector. It is alleged that no promotional avenues have been provided for Munims in the Excise and Taxation Department. The petitioner claims that the incumbents who have no promotional opportunities deserve to be amalgamated with one or the other services for the purposes of further promotions/appointments. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities vide representation dated 10.8.2009 (Annexure P-5) but C.W.P.No .3046 of 2010 2 without any response. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and without expressing any views on the claim put forth by the petitioner, especially when it requires a conscious policy decision by the respondents, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the afore-mentioned representation of the petitioner by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of 4 months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 19-02-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
