IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 9862 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 08.07.2009 Ashok Kumar .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Rajesh K. Dadwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner was working as Clerk in Municipal Council, Hoshiarpur. While he was posted as Octroi Clerk, 02 B Book was mis- placed, therefore, he was placed under suspension. Thereafter, he was reinstated. During the enquiry, the petitioner was found guilty for mis- placing the aforesaid 02B Book and an FIR was registered against him. On registration of the FIR, he was again placed under suspension. In the year 2008, the petitioner sent a legal notice to the respondents to reinstate him and to revoke the second suspension order, on the ground that on depositing the disputed amount of the said 02B Book, the Municipal Council, Hoshiarpur, passed the resolution dated 19.9.2008 (Annexure P-8) in his favour. In spite of that resolution, the respondents are CWP No. 9862 of 2009 -2- not considering and deciding the legal notice sent by the petitioner for his re-instatment after revoking the second suspension order. In view of this, counsel for the petitioner states that at this stage, the petitioner will be satisfied if a direction is issued to respondent No.2 to consider and decide the said legal notice in light of the resolution dated 19.9.2008, passed by Municipal Council, Hoshiarpur. In view of the aforesaid facts, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, without issuing notice of motion, as it will un-necessary delay the matter, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and decide the legal notice dated 9.5.2008 (Annexure P-7) in light of the resolution dated 19.9.2008 (Annexure P-8), passed by Municipal Council, Hoshiarpur, in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months.
