IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16572 of 2009 Date of Decision : February 23, 2010. Gurmeet Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Naresh Jain, 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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is a physically challenged person with permanent disability to the extent of 85% (Certificate Annexure P-6). He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to appoint him on the post of Multipurpose Health Worker (Male) reserved for the persons with hearing impairment handicapped category. The petitioner's case is that though he belongs to the above mentioned reserved category and is fully eligible for appointment on the subject post for which he applied and competed yet the respondents have failed to adhere to the reservation policy and have not considered the claim of the physically challenged persons like him to the extent of the C.W.P.No .16572 of 2009 2 reservation provided for them. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 3.6.2009 (Annexure P-9) but without any response. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views in relation thereto and since the petitioner's claim requires ascertainment of correct facts, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to take cognizance of the afore-stated legal notice dated 3.6.2009 (Annexure P-9) served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of his claim 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. 23-02-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
