IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.351 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 12.01.2010 Avtar Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Dr.M.L.Sachdeva, 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 seeks a mandamus to direct the respondent- authorities to issue him appointment letter as S.S.Master on the basis of the selection list published on 28.11.2006. Though the petitioner's own case is that he was aware of his selection but he has made no efforts to approach the authorities to find out as to why no appointment was offered to him. In the year 2008-09, the petitioner's father sought and has been provided information under the RTI Act from where the petitioner claims to have come to know about the issuance of appointment letter dated 9.12.2006 (Annexure P-19) to him. The petitioner has created lot of confusion by referring to one Avtar Singh C.W.P.No .351 of 2010 (O&M) 2 son of Gulzar Singh who is also an Ex-serviceman but to whom appointment letter has been issued much later on 6.8.2008 (Annexure P-11). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and after going through the contents of the writ petition, it appears that the petitioner has not disclosed complete facts in the writ petition. No representation ever made to the authorities to explain as to why the appointment letter was not issued the petitioners, has been appended with the writ petition. In these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the departmental authorities and persuade them to issue a fresh appointment letter to him, if so permissible under the Rules. Suffice it to observe that if the petitioner approaches the authorities concerned, his request shall be considered sympathetically. Disposed of. 12-01-2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
