Parminder Pal Singh (Retd.) .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd.& ors .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Virinder Kumar Shukla, 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) Pursuant to the charge-sheet dated 17.8.1992 (Annexure P-1), the petitioner was held guilty and punishment of stoppage of one annual increment with cumulative effect was imposed upon him way back on 15.10.1994, besides recovery of the amount towards the alleged loss caused to the respondent-Corporation. The petitioner went in departmental appeal and the Appellate Committee after hearing the petitioner in person on 20.9.1999, asked him to submit his representation against the enquiry report/punishment order, which was to be re-considered by the disciplinary authority. The petitioner avers that unfortunately he met with an accident on 27.11.1999 and could not avail the opportunity on time given to him by the the Appellate Committee. After the petitioner recovered from his C.W.P.No .6218 of 2011 2 injuries, he submitted his request on 31.7.2006. His request was considered and the petitioner was asked to submit his representation within 10 days vide memo dated 13.9.2006 (Annexure P-4). Pursuant thereto, the petitioner submitted the representation dated 16.9.2006 (Annexure P-5). Since no decision has been taken and/or communicated to the petitioner on the said representation that he has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the merits of his claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.3 to consider and dispose of the above mentioned claim of the petitioner by passing a speaking order and if so required, by giving him an opportunity of personal hearing, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. April 07, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
