Namita Sharma .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sukhdev Kamboj, 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion to respondent Nos.1 & 2 only at this stage. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on their behalf. Let two copies of the writ petition be supplied to the learned State counsel during the course of day failing which the order shall be automatically recalled and the writ petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed for non-prosecution. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, neither there is any necessity to seek counter reply from respondent Nos.1 & 2 nor respondent Nos.3 & 4 are required to be served at this stage. CWP No.18360 of 2011 [2] The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 21.9.2009 (Annexure P-5) vide which her claim for appointment as a Lecturer-in- Physical Education against a General Category (Female) post, has been rejected on the ground that she is below in merit than the last appointed candidate. The petitioner's case on the other hand is that despite she is higher in merit (72.578%) than the candidates, namely, respondent Nos.3 4 (Ritu Sharma and Karambir Kaur) who have got 71.68% & 71.05% merit points, respectively, and have still been appointed. Reliance is placed on a decision of this Court dated 14.09.2011 passed in CWP No.18548 of 2009 (Sharnjit Kaur vesus State of Punjab and others) (Annexure P-12). The above-stated claim has been lodged by the petitioner vide a representation dated 09.09.2010 (Annexure P-9) also but without any response thereto so far. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.1 & 2 to consider and dispose of the above mentioned claim of the petitioner after verifying the correct facts and in the light of the decision of this Court in Sharnjit Kaur's case (supra), by passing a speaking order, within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 28, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
