(Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus for his promotion to the post of Principal against the post said to have been reserved for Schedule Tribe category. It is averred that as per the policy/Instructions of the State Government and the seniority position of the petitioner, he is entitled to be promoted as Principal in Government Senior Secondary School, Golewala, District Faridakot. It is also averred that the petitioner is working as Lecturer since the year 1995. The above stated claim has been raised by the petitioner vide representation dated 14.4.2010 (Annexure P-10) also but it appears that no CWP No.8339 of 2011 [2] decision has been taken thereupon so far. In these circumstances and without expressing any views on the entitlement of the petitioner, 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 his representation dated 14.4.2010 (Annexure P-10) by passing a speaking order within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. In case the petitioner is found entitled to, the necessary promotion order be passed within a period of two months thereafter. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 11, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
