Mr.K.S.Sidhu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 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, while serving as Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Punjab, filed this writ petition for issuance of a direction to promote him as such retrospectively in the light of the recommendations dated 31.8.1992. During the pendency of the writ petition, the petitioner has retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation. Though the respondents in their reply-affidavit have vehemently opposed it, however, keeping in view the specific plea taken by him, it appears that the petitioner's claim deserves to be considered and disposed of by the respondents by passing a speaking order. C.W.P.No .6234 of 1993 2 The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to re-consider and dispose of the petitioner's claim by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is held entitled to any relief, the same shall be granted to him within a period of two months thereafter. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
