Versus Punjabi University, Patiala and another. ....Respondents. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel Hon'ble Mr. Justice Alok Singh 1.Whether reporters of local news papers may be allowed to see judgement ? 2. To be referred to reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr. B.S. Rana Advocate for the appellant. ... Alok Singh, J. 1. This appeal has been preferred against the order of learned Single Judge dated 7.7.2009 whereby the writ petition was dismissed. 2. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner was having three year Diploma in Printing and Technology and also the working experience of administration and management of a large scale printing press, as he was working as a Senior Officer with the Hindustan Times, whereas respondent No.2 was working as Foreman and that he was 53 years of age. As respondent No.2 was working as Foreman, he can not be taken to have the requisite administrative experience of at least five years in management and administration of a large Printing Press with allied branches. It was further the case of the petitioner that respondent No.2 was illegally selected against LPA No.1127 of 2009 2 the post of Manager (University Press) by ignoring the vast experience of the petitioner in the field. 3. The writ petition filed against the aforesaid selection was dismissed by learned Single Judge vide order dated 7.7.2009. Present appeal has been filed against the order dated 7.7.2009 passed by learned Single Judge. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. Undisputedly, respondent No.2 was earlier posted as Foreman. As per Annexure No.1, Foreman is supposed to supervise and control the work in respective department. If it is so, learned Single Judge was right to observe that Foreman who supervises and control the work can be said having administrative experience. 6. Learned counsel for the appellant argued that supervision does not include administration. He took us to Manual 2 of Annexure No.1, wherein power and duties of officers and staff are mentioned. As per Manual 2, even Assistant Manager has to supervise the machine and men and material, if he can be said having administrative experience on the ground that he supervise, then Foreman who also supervises and control the work, can also be said having administrative experience. 7. We find no illegality in the judgement passed by learned Single Judge. The appeal is devoid of merit and is dismissed. ( Alok Singh ) Judge ( Adarsh Kumar Goel ) Judge 18.02.2010 sk.
