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 was recruited as a Constable in the Punjab Armed Police on 4.12.1989 and was discharged from service on 24.1.1992. He challenged the said order in a Civil Suit which was partly decreed by the First Appellate Court and in compliance thereto, the petitioner has been reinstated with a lesser punishment of stoppage of one annual increment. No decision appears to have been taken with regard to the intervening period from 24.1.1992 till he was taken back in service vide the order dated 20.1.1998. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities including vide a representation dated 8.12.2009 (Annexure P-3) but without any response. C.W.P.No .4447 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length, it appears that the grievance of the petitioner needs to be redressed by the Committee constituted under the orders dated 4.3.2010 passed by this Court in CWP No.566 of 2010 (Ranjit Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others). The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Officers' Committee to consider the claim of the petitioner for regularization of the aforesaid period in accordance with the Rules/Policies as well as the facts pleaded in the writ petition and take an appropriate decision within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. If the petitioner is dis-satisfied with the decision of the Committee, he shall be at liberty to seek redressal of his grievance before an appropriate forum. Dasti.
