Surinder Kaur Randhawa .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Dr.M.L.Sachdeva, 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 solitary grievance raised by the petitioner in this writ petition is against the order dated 27.1.2005 whereby her services were terminated after holding a departmental enquiry. She has preferred a statutory appeal on 14.2.2005 against the said order under the Punjab Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1970. It is averred that the said appeal of the petitioner has not been decided so far by the authority though more than five years have passed. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the stand taken by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 that in case the above-mentioned appeal of the petitioner is still pending, the same be C.W.P.No .5439 of 2010 2 disposed of in accordance with law and after affording an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. However, if the said appeal has already been decided, let a copy of the said order be sent to the petitioner within one month. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 26, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
