IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 10671 of 2009 Date of Decision: 23.09.2011 Kulwinder Kaur ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ..Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Dr. M.L.Sachdeva, Advocate for the petitioner Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) The petitioner filed this petition seeking a direction to the respondents to consider her representation as per the recommendation made by the Lokpal, Punjab. Somewhat similar relief was sought in Civil Writ Petition 7155 of 2010 (Ashwani Kumar V. State of Punjab and another) which was dismissed by this Court on 22.04.2010 with the following observation:- “In my considered view, the State Government has rightly observed that the exercise undertaken by the learned Lok Pal, Punjab causing re-determination of the inter-se merit of the candidates who competed for selection before a recruiting agency, does not fall within the purview and ambit of the Act, creating the office of learned Lok Pal. In these circumstances, this Court cannot issue a mandamus to implement the recommendations made by the learned Lok Pal, Punjab.” CWP No. 10671 of 2009 [2] Prior thereto a Division Bench of this Court has also taken a similar view in Sukhdeep Kaur V. State of Punjab and others 2008(4) S.C.T. 594. For the reasons stated above, desired writ can not be issued in favour of the petitioner. Dismissed. 23.09.2011 (SURYA KANT) 'ravinder' JUDGE
