State of Punjab and another . . . . . 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? **** Present: Mr. KPS Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioners ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioners seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to appoint them on the posts of Education Service Providers (PTI). The petitioners applied in response to the Advertisement (Annexure P1) inviting applications for filling up 244 posts of Education Service Providers out of which 61 posts were meant for General Category (Male). The case of the petitioners is that as against 61 posts, only 58 candidates were offered appointment out of whom the candidature of three candidates has been cancelled as their certificates were not found to be genuine, whereas two candidates have not accepted the offer of appointment. According to the petitioners, 5 posts of Education Service Providers in CWP No.9232 of 2010.doc - 2 – General (Male) category have remained vacant in this manner and they being at Serial No.2 & 3 in the Waiting List, are entitled to be given appointment within the advertised posts. (2). In this regard, the petitioners are said to have made representation(s) to the authorities on 11.09.2009 (Annexure P3) but without any response thereto. (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same at this stage with a direction to respondent No.2 to verify the above-mentioned factual plea taken by the petitioners and dispose of their claim within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (4). Ordered accordingly. (5). Dasti . (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 19.05.2010 vishal shonkar
