SPO Hakam Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.K.S.Sidhu, Advocate, for the petitioners. 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. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. 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, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. CWP No.16438 of 2011 [2] The petitioners seek a direction for allotment of constabulary numbers after improvement of their qualifications and further to treat them as par with others who have been given constabulary numbers on the basis of orders dated 2.11.1999, 7.8.1992, 26.2.2002 and 16.5.2003. The petitioners who are working as SPOs, on the other hand, rely upon the recommendations (Annexures P-7) made by the Officers' Committee constituted by this Court vide order dated 4.3.2010 passed in Civil Writ Petition No.566 of 2010 (Ranjit Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others). In my considered view, it is obligated upon the appropriate authority firstly to consider and give effect to the recommendations made by the Officers' Committee and if there is any administrative or legal difficulty in giving effect to those recommendations, then to pass a reasoned order. Unless a holistic view is taken by the authorities on the recommendation of the Officers' Committee, no adverse decision against those SPOs who were recruited prior to 31.12.1994 shall be taken. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 05, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
