(Oral) The petitioners are working as Punjabi and Hindi Teachers in the Education Department, Government of Punjab. Though petitioner No.1 has now been promoted as Master, they still seek a direction to the respondents to consider their claim for promotion to the posts of Masters/Mistresses pursuant to the Circular dated 12.10.2004 (Annexure P-1) whereby the cases of eligible teachers were called for such promotions. The petitioners' grievance is that their juniors have been promoted, over-looking their claim. The petitioners represented the authorities followed by a legal notice dated 13.11.2009 (Annexure P-7) but without any response. C.W.P.No .2375 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in the writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits thereof, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to take cognizance of the afore-stated legal notice dated 13.11.2009 (Annexure P-7) and disposed of the petitioners' claim by passing a speaking order as early as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
