Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner who is a Class-IV employee in the Education Department, Government of Punjab, seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to promote him as Senior Lab Attendant/Clerk or Library Restorer with effect from the date he acquired eligibility and/or the date CWP No.15718 of 2011 [2] when his juniors were promoted thereafter. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, 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 No.2 to consider and decide the above mentioned claim of the petitioner by passing a speaking order, within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to the consequential benefits, the same shall also be granted to him forthwith within the above stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
