Sikander Singh and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Arora, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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 petitioners were working as Senior Assistants in the Education Department, Government of Punjab and are presently posted in the office of District Education Officer (EE), Ludhiana. They seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to promote them to the posts of Superintendent Grade-II. It is averred that though the names of the petitioners were duly recommended for promotion way back on 10.9.2007, but, no decision has been taken so far on those recommendations despite the representations dated 10.3.2008, 29.5.2008 and 13.8.2008 (Annexures P-3 to P-5) sent by them. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and C.W.P.No .5642 of 2010 2 considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.1 & 2 to consider and dispose of the claim of the petitioners for promotion to the posts of Superintendent Grade-II if they are otherwise eligible and entitled to such promotions as per their seniority, by passing appropriate orders in accordance with law, within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 30, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
