(Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to fix her seniority as per her placement in the merit list at the time of selection. The aforesaid relief has been sought by the petitioner on the strength of Rule 11 of the Punjab State Education Class-III (School Cadre) Rules, 1978, which, inter-alia, says that inter-se seniority shall be determined as per merit at the time of recruitment. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 12.9.2009 (Annexure P-3) but there is no response thereto so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner 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 respondents to C.W.P.No .7409 of 2010 2 take cognizance of the legal notice dated 12.9.2009 (Annexure P-3) served on behalf of the petitioner and redress her grievances by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. April 27, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
