IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2523 of 2010 Date of Decision : February 11, 2010. Nirmal Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Manoj Kaushik, 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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks quashing of the promotion order dated 17.3.2003 (Annexure P-1) whereby respondent No.4 is said to have been promoted as Inspector out of turn. The petitioner's precise grievance is that at the time when the petitioner joined as a directly recruited Assistant Sub Inspector, respondent No.4 was serving as a Head Constable. However, by granting out of turn promotions to him, respondent No.4 has been made to sit over the head of the petitioner. The petitioner is said to have made repeated representations before the Authorities, including dated 4.3.2008, 6.6.2008 and 22.4.2009 C.W.P.No .2523 of 2010 (O&M) 2 but action has been taken on these representations so far. In these circumstances, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to take cognizance of the representations, if any, submitted by the petitioner and/or treat this writ petition as his representation and dispose of his claim by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of 4 months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 11-02-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
