Rupinderjit Singh Sran .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Vivek Sharma, 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 is working as a Lecturer-in-English and is presently posted at Government Senior Secondary School, Guru Teg Bahadur Garh, District Moga. The petitioner is stated to be a 100% physically challenged person who cannot move without the help of a helper and a wheel chair. The petitioner has further averred that the aforesaid place of posting is more than 30 kilometers away from his native place. According to the petitioner, a post of Lecturer-in-English has fallen vacant in Government Senior Secondary School, Machaki Mal Singh, District Faridkot, w.e.f. 12.5.2010. Having regard to his physical disability, the petitioner seeks a direction for his transfer to Government Senior Secondary School, Machaki Mal Singh, District Faridkot, which is C.W.P.No .9816 of 2010 2 very close to his native place. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears that subject to verification of the fact pleaded by the petitioner, the State Government ought to consider sympathetically the petitioner's request for transfer against the above-mentioned vacancy. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Principal Secretary to the Government of Punjab, Department of Education, to verify the facts pleaded by the petitioner and if found true, consider the desirability of his posting at Government Senior Secondary School, Machaki Mal Singh, District Faridkot. The needful shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Till then, no other Lecturer-in-English shall be posted against the afore-mentioned post. Dasti. May 25, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
