IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13183 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 28, 2010. Davinder Singh .....Petitioner versus The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited and others ....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.J.S.Jaidka, 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) The petitioner served on the post of Junior Engineer with the erstwhile Punjab State Electricity Board till his retirement w.e.f. 31.10.2006. His grievance at this stage is that whereas he was promoted as J.E. w.e.f. 3.8.1987, his junior got promotion as such w.e.f. 12.7.1977. The petitioner accordingly seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to reconsider and grant him retrospective promotion from the due date and consequently re-fix his retiral dues. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities on 21.8.2009 (Annexure P-6) but without any response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I C.W.P.No .13183 of 2010 2 deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to dispose of the petitioner's above-mentioned representation by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. It is, however, directed that if the petitioner's claim is accepted, no arrears shall be paid to him, though his pay and retiral dues shall be fixed notionally. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
