Vipan Kumar .....Petitioner versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.G.P.Vashisht, 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 seeks his appointment as a Peon on compassionate ground. The petitioner's case is that his father joined the respondent- department in the year 1971 and was holding the post of Senior Auditor at the time of his unfortunate death while in service on 23.9.2002. It is submitted that there is no one to earn bread for the family and the deceased has left behind his wife, two daughters and the petitioner (son). It is also averred that the petitioner immediately applied on 15.11.2002 for his appointment as a Peon on compassionate ground but no action has been taken till date though there is a protracted correspondence between the CWP No.18113 of 2011 [2] mother of the petitioner and the respondents. The petitioner has pointed out that the respondents are making appointments on pick and choose basis in much as one Brij Lal also died while in Government Service later than the petitioner's father but his son, namely, respondent No.3, has already been given appointment. The petitioner has lodged his claim vide a legal notice dated 17.5.2010 (Annexure P-10) also but without any response thereto so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that the claim of the petitioner has not been considered so far in terms of the Government Policy, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.1 & 2 to consider and dispose of the petitioner's claim within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. In case the petitioner is found entitled to, the appointment be given to him within the above stated stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 26, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
