IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3573 of 2010 Date of Decision : March 02, 2010. Jaswinder Kaur and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Manohar Dadwal, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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 petitioners appeared in the written examination conducted for recruitment to the posts of Ayurveda Medical Officers. On the basis of their performance in the written examination, they have been placed at merit Nos.17 & 18 amongst the Scheduled Castes (Ramdasia and other categories). They seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to call them for interview. It is not in dispute that 15 posts are reserved for Scheduled Castes out of which 50% are meant for Mazbi Balmiki and remaining 50% to be filled in from Ramdasia and other sub-categories. The respondents have called 15 candidates in order of merit from each of the two sub- C.W.P.No .3573 of 2010 2 categories for interview. The petitioners being at merit Nos.17 & 18 amongst Ramdasia and others have obviously been not called for interview. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that the writ petition is wholly pre-matured at this stage. No candidate lower in merit than the petitioners has been called for interview so far nor the selection has taken place. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a liberty to the petitioners to approach the authorities concerned at an appropriate stage. Disposed of. Dasti.
