Chamkaur Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Naresh Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 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 is a physically challenged person with 45% permanent disability. He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to appoint him on the post of Multipurpose Health Worker (Male) reserved for the partial visually disabled category persons. The petitioner's case is that though he belongs to the above mentioned reserved category and is fully eligible for appointment on the subject-post for which he applied and competed, yet the respondents have failed to adhere to the reservation policy and have not considered the claim of the physically challenged persons like him to the extent of the C.W.P.No .11872 of 2009 2 reservation provided for under The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 3.6.2009 (Annexure P-10) but without any response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits as the petitioner's claim requires ascertainment of correct facts, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to take cognizance of the afore-stated legal notice dated 3.6.2009 (Annexure P-10) served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of his claim by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 09-09-2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
