JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. S.B.Nagpal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms. Monika Chibbar Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab for the respondents **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) This order shall dispose of all these petitions as the relief sought by the petitioners is common in nature. For brevity, the facts are taken from Civil Writ Petition No. 9960 of 2011. CWP No. 9960 of 2011 [2] The petitioners are working as Senior Laboratory Attendants and they seek a mandamus to the respondents to provide some promotional avenue, may be on the pattern of Clerks, and to re- designate their posts from Senior Lab Attendant to Lab Attendant etc. Reliance is placed on the observations made by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No. 2567 of 1992 decided on 03.02.2004 (Sant Ram and others V. State of Punjab and another) (Annexure P-5). The petitioners had also sought the abovestated relief vide legal Notice dated 27.04.2011 (Annexure P-7). Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered view that no reply is required to be filed by the respondents at this stage. Suffice it to observe that the petitioners are merely praying for providing themselves promotional avenue in the light of the observations already made by this Court. The respondents can thus, depending on certain facts and circumstances, consider the above stated claim of the petitioners and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
