Gurbachan Singh .....Petitioner versus Food Corporation of India and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Virinder Kumar Shukla, 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 was promoted to the post of Manager (D) on 18/20.8.2007 (Annexure P-1). He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to fix his pay in the pay scale admissible on the promotional post. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 7.9.2009 (Annexure P-6) but there is no response thereto though more than one year has passed. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner, as C.W.P.No .18723 of 2010 2 contained in his legal notice dated 7.9.2009 (Annexure P-6) and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 14, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
