IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.6596 of 2010 Date of Decision : April 09, 2010. Smt.Asha Rani .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.N.P.Mittal, 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 is aggrieved at the order dated 12.4.2006 (Annexure P-7) whereby she has been dismissed from service retrospectively w.e.f. 1.12.2000. It is not in dispute that the impugned order is appealable under the Punjab Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1970 and, in fact, the petitioner has already filed an appeal before respondent No.1 on 28.2.2010 (Annexure P-9). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has got an alternative remedy to pursue her above-stated appeal, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1 to decide the petitioner's appeal by C.W.P.No .6596 of 2010 2 passing a speaking order after giving her opportunity of personal hearing, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Disposed of. Dasti. April 09, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
