Anil Kumar Chadha .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Ms.J.J.Kaur, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.H.S.Brar, Addl.AG, Punjab, for respondent Nos.1 & 2. Mr.Anil Kumar Sharma, Addl.AG,Pb, for respondent No.3. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.

Mr.H.S.Brar, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos.1 & 2 and on the asking of the Court, Mr. Anil Kumar Sharma, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, who is on the panel, accepts notice on behalf of respondent No.3. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner, who is working as a Lineman in the respondent- Corporation, seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to promote him to the post of Junior Engineer (Electrical). It is averred that though the C.W.P.No .18930 of 2010 2 case of the petitioner has been duly recommended by the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Jalandhar but the necessary sanction has not been accorded by the State Government. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities and has also served them with a legal notice dated 3.8.2009 (Annexure P-5) followed by another representation dated 10.6.2010 (Annexure P-7) but without any response thereto so far. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the fact that the petitioner’s claim is under active consideration of the authorities, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.1 & 2 to consider the recommendations received from respondent No.3-Corporation and pass an appropriate order in this regard, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 15, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
