IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 2891 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 27th April, 2010. Ram Gopal & Ors. Petitioners through Mr. K.G.Chaudhary, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Mrs. Charu Tuli, Sr. DAG, Punjab. 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] This order shall dispose of CWP Nos. 2891 and 6935 of 2009 as common questions of law and facts are involved in both these cases. For the sake of brevity, the facts are being taken from CWP No. 2891 of 2009. The petitioners are constables in Punjab Police belonging to District Patiala cadre. They impugn the order passed by the Director General of Police, Punjab cancelling the written examination and the selection process undertaken by the then Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala for deputing the Constables to B-I course, i.e., Lower School Course. The respondents have filed their counter-affidavit and thereafter additional affidavits have also been filed under the orders of this Court. Mrs. Tuli, learned Sr. DAG, Punjab on instructions and after verification of the records fairly states that there were minor discrepancies in the written examination which have since been rectified/corrected. She, however, has strong reservations against the manner in which the Parade Test and interview were conducted by the then SSP, Patiala. Learned counsel for the petitioners fairly submits that without going into the controversy, the parade test and interview can be again conducted by an Officers' Committee headed by a senior officer. Learned counsel for the petitioner in CWP No. 6935 of 2009, who is challenging the entire selection process completed by the then SSP, Patiala, is also agreeable to the suggestion that the Parade Test and interview can be conducted by an Officers' Committee. Consequently and in view of the consensus arrived at between the parties, it is directed that there shall be an Officers' Committee comprising Shri Paramjit Singh Gill, IPS, Inspector General of Police, Patiala Zone along with the SSPs of Sangrur and Fatehgarh Sahib districts, who shall take the Parade Test and interview of the petitioners and all other candidates, who have qualified the written test as per the rectified/corrected result of the written examination. The Committee is directed to notify the criteria to be followed while awarding marks to the candidates in the Parade Test and/or interview. Let the Parade Test and interview be held and final results be declared by the Officers'-Committee within a period of two weeks from the date a copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. Let a copy of this order be given Dasti to learned State Counsel for information and compliance. A copy of this order be also supplied Dasti to learned counsel for the petitioners on payment of requisite charges. April 27, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
