CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. K.K.Garg, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Kavita Arora, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus for his promotion to the post of Principal w.e.f. the date he was given current duty charge. The petitioner avers that the identically placed persons have got the aforestated promotion under the orders of this Court dated 05.05.2008 passed in Civil Writ Petition No. 1345 of 2001 (Niranjan Singh and others V. State of Punjab and others). The above stated relief has been sought by the petitioner vide representation dated 08.07.2008 (Annexure P-1). In these circumstances I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner for regular promotion as Principal in the light of the directions/observations made by this Court in Niranjan Singh's case (supra). The appropriate order shall be passed within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Dasti. 08.09.2011 (SURYA KANT) 'ravinder' JUDGE
