IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. 15917 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 3rd March, 2010. Satinder Sonia Petitioner through Mr. Gurbachan Singh, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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 is working as a Science Mistress in the Education Department, Government of Punjab and is presently posted in Government High School, Radiala, District SAS Nagar, Mohali. She belongs to the reserved category of Scheduled Caste. Her grievance is that notwithstanding the 20% reservation meant for Scheduled Caste Category in the matter of promotions, the respondents have reserved only nine posts out of 248 posts of Lecturers sought to be filled in by way of promotions. According to the petitioner, 40 posts ought to be filled in from amongst the reserved category to which the petitioner belongs. Suffice it to observe that the petitioner is M.A.English and asserts her eligibility for promotion to the post of Lecturer in English. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that the issue raised by the petitioner in this writ petition is essentially founded upon certain facts which need to be verified by the respondent authorities. The total sanctioned cadre strength; ratio between the direct recruits and promotees; the existing cadre strength; the existing strength of the Lecturers belonging to the reserved category; their eligibility etc. are several factors which need to be gone into by the Competent Authority so as to redress the petitioner's grievance. Consequently, the writ petition is disposed of at this stage with a direction to respondents No. 2 and 3 that in case the petitioner submits any representation within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, the same shall be considered in the light of the government policies and the factors, noticed above and shall be disposed of by passing a speaking order, as early as possible and preferably within a period of four months from the date of its receipt.
