IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 16266 of 2007. [O&M] Date of Decision: 12th January, 2011. Dr. Asha Goel & Ors. Petitioner through Mr. Vipin Mahajan, Advocate Versus Chandigarh Administrator & Ors. Respondents through Mr. Ashish Rawal, Advocate for respondent No.2. Mr. Sanjay Kaushal, advocate for the U.T., Chandigarh. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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 petitioners seek quashing of the decision dated 08.07.2005 [Annexure P-13] taken by the Board of Governors of the Punjab Engineering College [Deemed University] – respondent No. 2 to the extent of fixation of the cut-off date for determination of the eligibility for Career Advancement Scheme. The petitioners also seek a direction to grant them senior scale/selection grade in terms of the policy guidelines after counting the service rendered by them in other Institutions before joining respondent No. 2-College. While the petitioners assert that the afore-stated claims stand squarely answered in their favour by a Division Bench decision of this Court in Anil Kumar Dahiya v Union of India & Ors., 2006 [3] RSJ, 516 and some other judgments, learned counsel for respondent No. 2 vehemently denies the same, as according to him, the afore-cited decision[s] are based upon the concession given by the counsel as also keeping in view the peculiar facts of those cases, which are distinguishable. Learned counsel for respondent No. 2, however, fairly submits that the College [deemed University] is funded by the Chandigarh Administration. Counsel for the parties accordingly agree that let the claim of the petitioners for counting of their service rendered by them in other institutions, be also considered by the Secretary, Technical Education, Chandigarh Administration, who is the Competent Authority after hearing both the parties and in the light of the cited decisions. The writ petition is thus disposed of with a direction to the Secretary, Technical Education, Chandigarh Administration, to consider the afore-stated claim of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. It is clarified that the contentions raised on behalf of the parties have been left open and no final opinion is being expressed at this stage. Disposed of. Dasti. January 12, 2011.
