PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. PK Goklaney, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) 1. This petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India has been filed praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing order dated 5.8.2010 (Annexure P-1). Further prayer made is that a direction be issued to the respondents to promote persons from the old seniority list. 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and having considered the contents of Annexure P-1, I find that tentative seniority list has been circulated. Along with the list, all the persons likely to be affected have been asked to file objections, if any, along with proof. 3. It is not in dispute that the petitioners have filed objections vide document placed on record as Annexure P-3 along with CM 17692 of Civil Writ Petition No.21950 of 2010 2 2010. No decision on the objections has been taken. The court cannot presuppose that an illegality would be committed by the respondents in taking a decision dehors the rules and instructions. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that let the petition be dismissed as withdrawn, it being premature. 5. The writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn, being premature. 6. It is made clear that the petitioners would be at liberty to file a fresh petition if any cause of action arises by way of disturbance of seniority of the petitioners or by way of promotion of a person who is junior to the petitioners.
