IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.17143 of 2011 Date of Decision : September 14, 2011. Hardeep Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.G.P.Vashisht, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 seeks a mandamus for her appointment as Math Mistress in the reserved category of Dependents of Ex-servicemen. She claims herself to be higher in merit than respondent No.4, who also belongs to the same category. The petitioner was not appointed as she did not attend the second counseling held in January, 2011. The petitioner alleges that she did not come to know about the date of counseling as it was displayed on the Internet only. The petitioner is stated to have attended the third counseling but the official respondents refused to consider her claim for appointment on that day. The petitioner has explained the circumstances due to which she could not appear for the second counseling and has CWP No.17143 of 2011 [2] lodged her claim for appointment vide legal notice dated 1.8.2011 (Annexure P-4) also but without any response thereto so far. Having regard to the nature of relief sought and the fact that the petitioner's explanation may require verification of the fact situation, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and dispose of the petitioner's claim as contained in the aforementioned legal notice dated 1.8.2011 (Annexure P- 4) by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 14, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
