IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.9976 of 2011 Date of Decision : July 22, 2011. Punjab Forest Ranger and Deputy Ranger's Association and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Parveen Kumar Garg, 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 petitioner-Association and its office bearers allege that the Soil Conservation Assistants and others subordinate officials have been illegally posted as Ranger Officers in the Forest Department. It is contended that except the Forest Rangers or the Deputy Forest Rangers, no other official can be posted as Ranger Officer. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, I am of the considered view that the petitioner-Association or its alleged office bearers have no locus standi to seek the desired relief. Suffice it to mention that if any Forest Ranger or the Deputy Forest Ranger is aggrieved by the illegal CWP No.9976 of 2011 [2] postings of any official, they may approach the competent authority and/or any other forum for the redressal of their grievances. With this observation, the writ petition stands dismissed. However, this order shall not preclude the petitioner-Association to pursue the legal notice dated 2.6.2010 (Annexures P-12) said to have been served on its behalf. Dasti.
