IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3287 of 2011 Date of Decision : February 23, 2011. Ramesh Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Naveen Sheoran, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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) The petitioners, who are working as Sweepers with the respondent-Corporation, seek a mandamus for regularization of their services on the strength of an office order dated 22.1.2010 (Annexure P-1); Policy Circular dated 15.12.2006 (Annexure P-2) as well as the order dated 1.10.2010 (Annexure P-4) passed by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.17877 of 2010 (Harbans Singh versus State of Punjab and others). It appears that the petitioners are also similarly placed employees and their claim for regularization of services deserves to be considered in the light of the observations made by this Court in the above cited Harbans Singh's case. C.W.P.No .3287 of 2011 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondent- Corporation to consider and dispose of the petitioners' claim by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order and keeping in view the above mentioned Circulars/Policy decisions as well as the order passed by this Court in Harbans Singh's case (supra). Till the petitioners' claim is decided, status- quo regarding their retention in service shall be maintained. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. February 23, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
